The idea

About this experience

A yacht offers what no restaurant, rooftop or beach in Mumbai or Goa can: complete privacy at the moment that counts. We look after the boat, decor, crew and timing, with flowers on the rail, a Marry Me sign placed for the camera, and a captain who anchors and goes quiet when you ask.

Why a yacht beats other venues

On land, you share the moment with waiters, strangers' cameras and the odd relative who wasn't meant to know. Out past the harbour, the only people aboard are those you invited, and the crew stay out of sight and earshot until you signal.

The backdrop takes care of itself too. Few people ever see the Gateway of India, the Taj dome and silhouetted fishing boats from open water. In Goa, you get the Mandovi river mouth, the walls of Aguada fort, or open sea off Vagator.

The Gateway of India and Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, seen from the water.

Choosing a boat

A couple alone wants somewhere small and intimate. A couple with four friends hiding with a camera needs deck space. So we ask two things: how many people are really coming, and do you want a produced moment or a quiet one?

Compact sailing yachts — XS 63, Dark Secret or MacGregor, from ₹3,000
Mid-size yachts — Mac 30 or Jenu 34, with room for a small group and photographer, from ₹8,000
Fairline 40 — three cabins, a bigger deck and a more produced set-up, ₹15,000–₹30,000
All prices are per boat, so a small group costs the same as a couple alone
The boat and rate depend on your date and port, and both are confirmed before any deposit

A compact sailboat with balloons in the rigging: the ₹3,000 entry tier.

Marry Me decor and styling

Decor is its own line on the quote, in packages from ₹500 to ₹15,000. A balloon arch or foil sign suits most couples and photographs well against open water. At the top end, we set up a rose-petal runway, floral arch, fairy lights and a styled table for the toast. Give us a budget for this line and we'll show what it buys.

Marry Me balloon arch or foil sign only — from ₹500
Petals, balloons and a banner together — ₹2,500–₹5,000
Floral arch, petal runway, fairy lights and styled toast table — ₹8,000–₹15,000
Colour themes matched to your outfits or time of day, on request
Decor is ready before you board, with no crew still at work

A full floral set-up: the ₹8,000–₹15,000 tier, styled and lit before boarding.

Photos, food and the rest

A photographer can be an obvious third guest or stay low and shoot from a distance, as you prefer. Photo and video are quoted separately, by hours on the water and what you want delivered.

For food, bring your own cake and snacks and we supply plates and glasses free. Or we can arrange a cake, canapés, a full meal or a nearby restaurant delivery, all quoted before you board. Every boat has a sound system for a playlist or a first song.

Your own cake and snacks, with plates and serving at no charge
Catering on request: cake, canapés, full meal or restaurant delivery
Bluetooth sound system on every boat
A short champagne toast or celebration can be part of the booking

Alcohol

Alcohol isn't automatically included and needs permission before your date, because of coastal and excise rules. Let us know if you want champagne or drinks, and we'll confirm what your boat and route allow.

Drones: Mumbai and Goa differ

Drones can't fly over Mumbai's coastal waters near the Gateway of India, as the airspace is restricted for all operators. Goa allows them with standard permissions, so book there if aerial footage matters. We arrange the operator with the photography package.

The best time of day

Early morning, from 7 to 9 AM, works best for practical reasons. Water off both cities is calmest then, so the deck is steadier and filmed audio cleaner. There's no afternoon haze, the light is soft, and you largely have the anchorage to yourselves.

Sunset stays popular for its golden colour, though you share it with every other boat, and those slots go first. Either way, we time the anchorage to the light you choose.

Golden-hour light, the popular alternative to the 7–9 AM window.

Keeping it a surprise

If your partner doesn't know, we plan for that: a generic occasion on the booking, a crew briefed on your cover story, and decor timed for before boarding or revealed once under way. We know where surprises tend to fall apart, and plan around those points.

Quiet and private: just before the question.

Questions

Frequently asked

When is the best time of day to propose?

From 7 to 9 AM, for calm water, soft light and a quiet anchorage. Sunset gives golden colour but books out first, so confirm it early.

What does it cost in Mumbai or Goa?

The charter runs from ₹3,000 to ₹30,000, per boat. Decor is separate, from ₹500 to ₹15,000. The boat and total are confirmed before any deposit.

Can we have alcohol on board?

Not automatically. It needs prior permission because of coastal and excise rules. Tell us in advance and we'll confirm what your boat and route allow.

Are drone shots possible?

It depends on the city. Mumbai's coastal airspace near the Gateway is restricted for all operators. Goa allows drones with standard permissions.

Do you provide a photographer?

Yes, an in-house photographer and videographer, quoted by the hour. Tell us if you want them visible or discreet.

Can we bring food, or will you cater?

Either. Bring your own and plates and glasses are free. Or we arrange cake, canapés, a meal or a nearby restaurant delivery, quoted before boarding.

What does the decor include?

From ₹500: a balloon arch or foil sign. ₹2,500–₹5,000: adds rose petals and a personalised banner. ₹8,000–₹15,000: floral arch, petal runway, fairy lights and a styled toast table.

Can family or friends come along?

Yes, on board or waiting at the jetty for a celebration. A bigger group needs more deck, which moves you into the mid-size or luxury tier.

How do you keep it a surprise?

With a generic occasion on the booking, a cover story for the crew, and decor timed for before boarding or once under way.

How far ahead should we book?

Two to three weeks suits a standard decorated proposal. Sunset slots, weekends and December–February go faster.

What if the weather is bad?

If the coast guard stops sailing or the captain judges it unsafe, we reschedule at no cost. That call is made only on safety grounds.

Is the boat fully private?

Yes. Only your group, the captain and crew, and anyone you've arranged, such as a photographer, are aboard.

Is there a minimum group size?

No. A proposal for two is the most common booking, and pricing is per boat.

Can we extend if we want to keep celebrating?

Usually, subject to the boat's next booking and the captain's availability. Ask and we'll flag a boat with room to extend.

Do you run these in both cities?

Yes. Mumbai charters leave near the Gateway in Colaba. Goa charters use the Mandovi and coastal jetties around Panjim, Vasco and Candolim. Prices, timing and decor are the same, and only drones differ.

Which boat suits something small and quiet?

XS 63, Dark Secret or MacGregor, from ₹3,000, with a simple balloon or foil sign as decor.

Is there music on board?

Yes, every boat has a Bluetooth system for your playlist or a chosen song.

Is a champagne toast included?

No, it's an add-on quoted as its own line, arranged with your alcohol permission and decor package.
