Buy a speedboat
Owners tend to use a speedboat more than any other boat they buy. It is cheap to run and easy to keep on a trailer, and it can turn a two-hour coastal drive into a twenty-minute crossing.

Choosing a hull type
The hull type matters more than the engine brand.
- RIBs — tough, seaworthy, forgiving alongside: the practical all-rounder
- Centre consoles — walkaround deck, best for fishing and diving
- Bowriders and sports boats — seats and sun space for family days
- Yacht tenders — sized to a mothership's davits or garage
- Commercial and charter boats built to passenger survey
Engines and surveys
In India, outboards are simpler, lighter and easier to service than sterndrives, and parts are easier to find. On a used boat, compression tests and an ECU hours readout tell you more than shiny topsides. An independent engine survey is arranged as standard.
Registering, storing and running
We handle registration with the relevant maritime board, advise on trailer or berth, and arrange servicing. A trailered boat kept under cover costs a fraction of a berthed one and lasts longer, which makes it the right answer for most owners.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does a speedboat cost in India?
A used 18–21 ft outboard boat is the accessible way in. A new imported RIB or sports boat of 25 ft and up costs several times more after duty and freight. We quote the landed, registered cost.
Outboard or sterndrive?
Outboard for nearly every Indian owner: easier servicing and spares, no corrosion-prone drive leg in silty water, and better resale.
Is a licence needed?
Rules for private use differ by state, and commercial passenger work needs licensed crew and a surveyed boat. We suggest the two-day RYA Powerboat Level 2 for owner-operators, and insurers view it well.
Where can I keep one in Mumbai?
A marina berth, a club mooring, or a trailer with launching at a ramp. A trailer is the cheapest, and staying out of the water extends hull and engine life.
