Pick the boat by the size of the party
Every price is for the whole yacht for two hours: one hour sailing the Mandovi and one hour at anchor. Split between the group, a boat often costs less per head than people expect.
- Up to 6 guests: the WAVE RIDER (₹10,000) or the BLUE FIN (₹11,000).
- Up to 8 on a budget: the MANDOVI LOUNGE at ₹9,500 — an open-deck boat with no cabin or washroom.
- 7 to 10 guests: the RINKER 260EC (₹12,000), MANTA RAY or MV TARA (₹13,000), AQUILA (₹14,000) or SEA RAY 330 (₹15,000).
- A bigger party, 12 to 16: the FUNLINER (up to 12, ₹15,000), SUNSET 42 (up to 15, ₹25,000) or MV COCO (up to 16, ₹19,000).
- For ten people on the ₹15,000 SEA RAY 330, that is ₹1,500 each for a private boat.
What comes with the boat, and what is arranged on request
Included on every yacht: chilled soft drinks and soda, ice and water, a Bluetooth music system for your own playlist, the sundeck, life-saving equipment on board, and all taxes.
Not included, and arranged on request at the jetty at extra cost: decoration (balloons, banners, flowers), a cake and food, a photographer or drone shoot, live music such as a guitarist or singer, and dance or entertainment. Tell us what you want when you book or on WhatsApp; the team confirms what the boat can do and quotes the price. Drone shoots need clearance, so ask before you plan on one.
When to sail
Charters board every two hours from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and you choose the time when you book. The 5:00 PM boarding is on the water through sunset from October to March, which makes it the slot for cake-cutting photos — and the first to sell out on weekends. Morning charters are calmer and cooler, and the best chance of seeing dolphins near the river mouth, though no one can promise a sighting.
