About us

We know these waters.

Riviera Boats AL was founded nine years ago with a single purpose: to give travelers honest, safe, and unforgettable access to the places that make the Albanian Riviera one of Europe's most remarkable coasts.

Nine years of daily departures, through calm summer mornings and brisk autumn seas, have given our crew an intimate knowledge of this coastline that no guidebook captures. We know which cave entrance is best at 10am in July, which bay offers the only shelter when the afternoon wind turns from the northwest, and where to anchor at Grama Bay for the angle that shows all 1,500 inscriptions at once.

We operate from three bases (Vlora, Himara, and Sarande) with a fleet of four vessels chosen to match different experiences and group sizes. Every member of our crew is a certified maritime captain with valid Albanian Maritime Authority licensing and current first aid certification. We are fully insured, and every departure includes a pre-departure safety briefing, life jackets for every guest, and weather verification.

We built this company because we believe that the most remarkable thing about the Albanian Riviera is exactly what most visitors never see: the places no road reaches. We exist to change that.
