About the Tikla Queen
From the same yard as the smaller XS boats, Tikla Queen adds room for eight guests and a small outboard for when the wind fades. The extra length mainly shows in how comfortably she carries people.
Her cuddy has real headroom and benches, and is often dressed for birthdays and anniversaries with name cushions, fairy lights and rose petals. On deck, groups gather at the open bow and around the tiller with the skyline behind them.
Families with grandparents and children tend to choose her, as do birthday groups too big for a five-seater. A motorboat transfers you to the boat, so allow for that at both ends of the slot. Wear flat shoes on the open deck. A skipper and deckhand do all the sailing.

Questions
Tikla Queen: common questions
What people ask before booking this boat. If yours isn't here, message us and a real person will answer.
What does it cost to charter Tikla Queen?
₹8,000 for the whole boat on a 2-hour slot, at any time of day. Weekends and public holidays cost ₹500 more. Extras are quoted separately.
Where does Tikla Queen leave from?
From the Gateway of India in Colaba. Arrive 15 minutes before your slot. The exact jetty and reporting time are confirmed the day before.
What is included in the Tikla Queen price?
Captain and crew, fuel for the standard route, life jackets for everyone and the sound system. Catering, bar, decor, water sports and extra hours are quoted and confirmed before you pay.
How many guests can Tikla Queen take?
Up to 8. The coast guard licence sets this limit and it can't be exceeded, so please count children and infants in your number.
How does Tikla Queen compare with the 5 Pax Sailing Boat?
She takes eight guests against five, has a roomier cuddy that suits decorated set-ups, and carries a small outboard alongside her sail.
Do I need sailing experience?
No. The skipper and deckhand handle the boat, and you are welcome to ask questions.
What is the minimum booking?
Two hours on weekends and public holidays, and one hour midweek. Island and full-day trips are quoted as packages.
What if the weather is bad on our date?
If the coast guard stops sailing or the captain judges it unsafe, your charter moves to another date at no cost. That decision is made on safety grounds only.
Can we bring food, a cake or decorations?
Outside food and a cake are generally fine, and we confirm this for each boat. Alcohol rules depend on the vessel and the permits on the day, so check before you buy any.
How early should we book?
Weekdays can often be arranged within the same week. Weekends, sunset slots and December need two to three weeks' notice.
