About us
Kingfisher's journey: Creating memories with you for nearly two decades
Our story started in 2005 when Milo and Predrag, two lifelong friends, launched Kingfisher. With a small traditional wooden boat, they began to show the world all the hidden treasures of the lake and its surroundings. Since those humble beginnings, our team has grown into a trusted resource that has helped tens of thousands of people better enjoy their travels. Our mission is to provide you, our loved travellers, with the best possible experiences on Lake Skadar and to give you lasting memories.
"The best boat trips don't have endless commentary on events and locations, which we will forget almost immediately upon hearing, but allow you to relax and take in the surrounding beauty."
-Stephen H, Tripadvisor, September 2023
