Open Sail Boat: sea breeze, open deck, slow Mumbai evenings.

Slow down, on the water
No engine noise, no rush. The open sail boat is built for guests who want to feel the sea breeze and watch Mumbai's skyline drift by, not race across the harbour. It's the boat we recommend most for sunset rides, proposals and quiet celebrations for two.

Why guests pick the open sail boat
The same reasons, every time: the quiet, the view, and the deck.
Full sea views
No cabin walls, just open deck and the Arabian Sea in every direction.
Sunset favourite
Time your ride for golden hour, the classic Gateway of India sunset from the water.
Proposals & surprises
A favourite backdrop for proposals. We've hosted plenty, and we know how to help you set it up.
Couples & small groups
Sized for an intimate ride, not a crowd. Perfect for two, or a small circle of friends.
Sea breeze, real quiet
No thrum of a speed boat engine. Just wind, sail and the water.
Flexible hire
30-minute quick ride, 1-hour classic, or 2 hours and beyond for a longer private hire.
Want it sheltered instead?
If the weather's hot, wet, or you'd simply rather sit below deck, our closed cabin sail boat covers the same idea with a sheltered, cushioned interior. Better suited to hot afternoons, rain, or guests who'd rather stay out of the sun.

Open sail boat: common questions
How much does the open sail boat cost?
Pricing is per boat (private hire), not per person, and varies by duration: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or longer charters are all available. Send an inquiry for a same-day quote.
Is the open sail boat good for a proposal?
Yes, it's one of our most requested boats for proposals. Tell us the plan over WhatsApp and we'll help coordinate the setup.
How many people can it carry?
It's sized for couples and small groups, not large parties. Tell us your group size when you inquire and we'll confirm.
Does the sail boat go to Mandwa or Elephanta?
The open sail boat is best suited to harbour cruising and private hire near the Gateway of India, not a fast point-to-point crossing. For Mandwa or Elephanta, our speed boats or yachts are a better fit.
What if it rains or the sea is rough?
If the Coast Guard or Port authority restricts sailing, we reschedule at no charge or refund your advance in full. For a sheltered ride in changeable weather, ask about our closed cabin sail boat instead.
Do I need to pay in advance, and can I cancel?
Yes, a booking is confirmed once the advance is paid. The advance is non-refundable if you cancel, except where the Coast Guard or Port authority restricts sailing.
