Quick answer: A private boat tour with Ajla Boat costs the same €20 per person as the group tour, runs 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (or 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM), and covers 7 stops along either the north or south Albanian Riviera. The difference is who’s on the boat with you, not the price. Book directly through WhatsApp.
What “Private” Actually Means Here
A private tour means your group has the boat to yourselves. No other travelers, no shared schedule. The price stays at €20 per person, same as the group tour, so a private booking works best for families, couples, or small groups who want the day to move at their own pace without paying a premium for it.
If you’re comparing this to the group tour and wondering which to pick, the honest answer is: pick private if you want control over stops and timing, pick group if you’re on a budget and don’t mind sharing the boat.
Two Routes, Not One Long Trip
Ajla Boat runs two separate private routes, and you choose one for the day:
South route: Shpella e Pëllumbasit (Pigeon Cave), Manastir (Monastery Beach), Pulëbardha Beach, Ksamil.
North route: Gjiri i Rrëzomës (Rrëzomë Bay), Soldiers’ Beach, Gremina, Kakome, Kroreza.
Both routes hit 7 stops along the Riviera coastline that’s mostly inaccessible by road, which is the actual selling point over a land-based day trip.
Schedule
Departure is either 9:00 AM or 10:30 AM, returning at 3:00 PM or 4:30 PM depending on which slot you book. That’s a 5.5 to 6-hour day on the water either way.
What’s Included
Snorkeling gear and swimming stops along the route are part of the tour. Food and drinks are not included, so bring your own water and snacks, or plan to buy something at one of the beach stops if available.
Where You’re Picked Up
Pickup is at Saranda bay. You’ll get the exact meeting point when you confirm your booking.
