The riverside places locals keep to themselves

Small-boat trips down the Sava and the Danube to fish restaurants set back in the trees along the bank. Six guests at a time, no coach party, no schedule but ours.

rkm 1170 — Sava confluence

These places have roads to them. They are just far enough back that nobody arrives by accident, and the way in has always been the water. You tie up a few steps from the table, eat what came out of the river that morning, and go back the way you came.

The boat

A pasara, not a party barge

The pasara is the traditional Belgrade river boat. Mine is v-hull, which matters more than it sounds: it cuts through the wake of passing barges instead of slapping over it, so lunch stays where you left it on the way home.

Yamaha 8HP four-stroke, shade, room to move, and 6 guests at most. I am at the tiller the whole way, so ask me anything — about the river, the city, or where the fish came from.
