Which water sports you can do on a charter
Jet skis, kayaks, snorkelling and more: what's available, and how to confirm it's included.
2 August 2026 · 1 min read
Not every boat carries water sports gear, and guests often assume it comes free. Check first if it's the point of your trip.
Jet skis
Standard on a handful of boats, usually as a supervised session at anchor. Check age and licence rules for anyone driving.
Kayaks
A gentler choice, paddled around the anchorage, and found on more boats than jet skis.
Snorkelling
Best on Goa's Grande Island route and other clear anchorages. Mumbai harbour isn't clear enough to be worth it. Island-route boats usually carry gear.
Windsurfing
Offered on fewer boats, and only useful if someone already knows how. Charters don't usually teach it on the day.
Before you book
Ask which activities are free and which are quoted separately, and whether a swim stop is built in or must be requested.
