How far in advance should I book a yacht in Goa? We recommend booking at least one week in advance, especially during peak season (November to February) or if you're planning a private yacht party, birthday celebration, or pre-wedding shoot on a specific date.
What payment methods do you accept? We accept UPI, major cards, and net banking. A deposit is required to confirm your yacht booking in Goa, with the balance payable before boarding.
What's your cancellation and refund policy? Weather-related cancellations are fully refunded or rescheduled at no extra cost.

What activities can I do on a private yacht charter?
