Mumbai to Alibaug by speedboat, ferry or road
Three ways to make the trip compared on time, cost and hassle, and when a speedboat is worth it.

How long Alibaug takes depends entirely on how you travel.
By road
Three hours on a good day via the Atal Setu, and much longer on a Friday evening or long weekend. It's cheapest if you have a car, and the only way to bring your own vehicle, but it's the least pleasant.
Catamaran ferry
Scheduled, air-conditioned, cheap per head, and about an hour door to jetty. It's the best value for a couple or solo traveller, though it runs to a timetable and fills on peak weekends.
Private speedboat
Twenty minutes, on your schedule, with your own group and bags. The price is fixed per boat, which suits a family or group and is costly for one person. Book it to save two and a half hours, not to save money.
The monsoon
All water crossings stop from about June to September, leaving only the slow, rainy road. Plan for October to May.
