О нас

Местные капитаны, одно озеро, бесчисленные тайные места

Мы — небольшая семейная команда из Вирпазара. Скадарское озеро — наш дом: мы выросли на этой воде, знаем каждый канал, водопад и заброшенную деревню и везём вас туда небольшими группами, а не в толпе.

Местные капитаны, одно озеро, бесчисленные тайные места

Наша история

Всё началось с одной традиционной деревянной лодки и желания показать гостям больше, чем оживлённый уголок порта. Сегодня мы проводим частные и групповые прогулки от двух часов до целого дня — всегда с нашими капитанами, без агентств и посредников.

Скадарское озеро — не просто ещё одно озеро: это самое большое озеро Балкан, рай для наблюдения за птицами и лабиринт скрытых бухт. Поэтому мы всегда советуем более длинный тур — вы увидите намного больше.

Meet Our Founder: Ilija Radoman – A Lifelong Passion for the Lake

Founder Ilija Radoman

Meet Our Founder: Ilija Radoman – A Lifelong Passion for the Lake

Ilija comes from a traditional Montenegrin family with deep roots in Poseljani—arguably the most breathtaking and untouched hidden gem of the Skadar Lake National Park. His connection to these waters runs in his blood: even as a young boy, Ilija was already steering boats for his family, dreaming of the day he would become a professional skipper. Today, that legacy lives on as his own son follows exactly in his footsteps.

Creating Adventures Since 2003

For over two decades, Ilija and his dedicated team have been crafting unforgettable experiences on the fascinating Skadar Lake. But Ilija’s vision was always bigger than just offering standard boat excursions. He wanted to give travelers the ultimate, stress-free immersion into the region.

Your All-In-One Adventure Gateway to Virpazar, Montenegro

Driven by the desire to show you the entire lake ecosystem, Ilija founded Noah’s Ark. Today, we provide a complete adventure package tailored to our beloved guests: from authentic boat tours starting from Virpazar, to e-bike rentals for exploring the hills, cozy apartment stays, and private secure parking. For Ilija, it’s not just a business—it’s about sharing his home and creating unique, lifelong memories with you.

Meet the Crew: The Heart of Noah’s Ark

Our great team

Meet the Crew: The Heart of Noah’s Ark

Behind every great journey is a team that lives and breathes the lake. From our legendary skippers to the family kitchen, these are the people who turn your trip into a unique adventure:

The Legends of the Lake (Our Senior Skippers)

These old skippers have been navigating Skadar Lake for decades. They know every hidden channel, every rare bird nesting spot, and every changing mood of the water. If there’s a secret spot on the lake, they don't just know it—they probably discovered it.

The Smart Captains

Our modern, knowledgeable captains don't just steer the boats—they love sharing their passion. Whether you want to know about traditional lake fishing, local history, or the mechanics of our agile sport boats, they always have a great story and a smile ready.

Our Customer Happiness & Back Office Team

The magic happens behind the scenes! Our dedicated Customer Happiness Managers, accountants, and meticulous maintenance crew work around the clock. They ensure your booking is seamless, your private parking spot is ready, and our fleet is in pristine, safe condition for your arrival.

The Family Kitchen

Noah’s Ark is a family affair. Ilija’s mother and sisters are the culinary heart of our operation. They pour their love into preparing the delicious, traditional Montenegrin snacks, local delicacies, and homemade treats you’ll enjoy during your private escapes. We don't just guide tours; we welcome you into our family. Come on board and experience Skadar Lake with the locals who love it most!

Our Fleet: Choose Your Style of Adventure

Our fleet

Our Fleet of 15 wooden boats and fast Sport boats: Choose Your Style of Adventure

At Noah’s Ark, we believe that the right boat shapes your entire experience. That’s why we operate a diverse, meticulously maintained fleet that caters to every type of traveler. Whether you want to slow down and romanticize the scenery or speed up to unlock the furthest corners of the lake, we have the perfect vessel for you. All boats are licensed and insured according to law.

🛶 The Heritage Fleet: Traditional Wooden Boats

The ultimate slow travel & romance experience. Step into local history aboard our beautifully crafted, traditional Montenegrin wooden boats. Designed to glide quietly and smoothly through the thickest fields of water lilies, these boats offer a nostalgic charm that you simply cannot replicate. Best for families, couples, bird watchers and photographers who want a peaceful, relaxed and authentic atmosphere – slow-paced, romantic, with spacious seating, stable cruising and plenty of room to enjoy local snacks.

🚀 The Explorer Fleet: Agile Sport Boats

High performance for long-distance discoveries. For those who want to see it all! Our modern, fast and agile sport boats are the game-changers of Virpazar. Because they cover massive distances in a fraction of the time, they unlock deep hidden gems—like the high-altitude waterfalls of Poseljani or the remote Morača Delta—that traditional boats simply cannot reach in a single day. Ideal for private groups of 4–8 guests and fully sun-protected so you stay cool while conquering the lake.
