How much does it cost to Charter a Yacht in Goa?

Planning a yacht charter in Goa is an exciting task, but it’s also a challenge – especially when beginning to estimate cost. Yacht have a base price, which is the hourly rate to rent the boat. But in addition to base costs, what other expenses, like food/drink, local taxes, or fuel, are charterers required to pay?

The good news: It’s easy to grasp the basics of yacht charter pricing. And this can help you more accurately estimate the cost of your next once-in-a-lifetime vacation.

The cost of a yacht charter is dependent on a number of factors, including the type of yacht, the charter destination, local taxes, and the base cost.

Therefore, yacht charters have a wide range of base prices. That’s why charters in Goa can cost from INR 20,000 per hour INR 60000 per hour depending on the sailing yachts, catamarans or luxurious motor super yacht you choose.

Beyond the Horizon: Fishing & Recce trip in Panaji

The first light of dawn was breaking over the picturesque Mandovi River, and we, the members of Cruising Club India, stood at the water's edge in Panjim, Goa, eager for the fishing recce adventure. With the promise of serene waters and the thrill of discovering what lay beneath, we embarked on a journey that would reconnect us with nature and the age-old art of fishing.

Upon reaching the meeting point, a knowledgeable local fishing guide welcomed us with a warm smile. Their enthusiasm for the upcoming adventure was contagious, and they provided a briefing that included safety guidelines and insights into the various fish species we might encounter.

The Mandovi River, it turns out, is not just a paradise for anglers but also a haven for birdwatchers. Kingfishers darted like flashes of blue, herons stood like statues along the riverbanks, and an eagle soared majestically overhead.

The highlight of our trip was when one of our companions reeled in a fish. The trip allowed us to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with the rhythms of nature and the rich fishing heritage of this coastal gem.

Types of Boats

Most people know boats to be just the archetypal curved wooden watercraft that can be steered by rowing or with the help of motors. However, the word ‘boat’ is an umbrella term for all kinds of watercraft that can be used on shallow water bodies i.e. near-shore areas and inland waterways such as rivers and lakes. The design and the type of a boat depend on the function that it was designed to serve. Boats can be broadly categorised into 10 types which can further have their own sub-types. Here are some major identifications for the different types of boats:

  • Motorboat

    A motorboat (also known as a speedboat or a powerboat), moves around by the thrust of an engine. These engines can either be installed inboard or outboard and vary in shape and size. Motorboats vary in size which can range from a small vessel designed to carry a single person to a 30 m long unit. Motorboats serve recreational (diving, swimming, fishing) and sporting (racing, piloting, navigation) purposes but can also be utilised in cases of emergencies since their speed and size make them efficient.

  • Sailboat

    A sailboat is a boat that doesn’t run on fuel or motors. Its motion is guided simply by the wind and the sails. Sailboats are further divided into subtypes depending on their size, hull configuration, keel type, purpose, the configuration of masts and sail plan. Cutters, Dinghies, and Catboats are some types of sailboats. To effectively navigate a sailboat, the sailor needs to have extensive knowledge of the boat's parts, their functions and the weather’s effects on sailing.

  • RIB

    A Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is an inflatable watercraft that is generally used to commute between a ship and the shore. These boats are efficient since they are lightweight and are preferred by emergency and law enforcement personnel. Their sizes vary from anywhere between 9 feet to 55 feet and they rely on an outboard motor for thrust. RIBs are also popular for recreational purposes such as diving, snorkelling and so on.

  • Catamaran

    A catamaran is a sailboat with two hulls and comes in various sizes depending on its purpose. The boat’s name is derived from the Tamil word kattumaram which translates into English as ‘logs bound together’ (which were traditionally used for fishing). Catamarans are generally used for day sailing and can either come with engines and no sails (power catamarans) or without engines (sailing catamarans). These boats offer stability, and manoeuvrability, and are more spacious and comfortable. Currently, catamarans are used for day sailing, world cruising, chartering or fishing.

  • Houseboat

    A houseboat is designed to provide long-term accommodation on water. A houseboat can vary anywhere between 12 to 24 feet and can have around one to even as many as four rooms along with a porch. Houseboats are popularly found over large lakes, and along the shores of coastal regions. Traditionally, they did not have motors or sails and were usually stationary unless towed from one spot to another. Some modern-day houseboats have been modified to be powered by internal-combustion engines.

  • Jet Ski

    A jet ski is a trademark personal watercraft (PWC) owned by Kawasaki. Used as a generic term for all watercraft with a similar configuration to that of a motorcycle, the jet ski is majorly used for recreational purposes. A PWC is also known as a water scooter and comes in a “stand-up” or “sit-down” variant that relies on an inboard engine for propulsion. Most models can accommodate a maximum of three people. Jet skis are also used in races, fishing and law enforcement.

  • Gulet

    A gulet is a traditional Turkish wooden sailing vessel majorly used for cruising and as a sweeping net, a trawl net or a sponging vessel. Gulets can vary between 15- 33 metres and are generally propelled by sails. They can be modified to offer a luxurious almost hotel-like accommodation and are mainly used for sailing. They are majorly used for tourist charters.

  • Yacht

    A yacht is a large sailing boat that provides accommodation and is generally used for sailing, cruising or racing. A typical yacht has to be at least 10 metres long and can either be sail- or power-driven. The term ‘yacht’ doesn’t refer to any specific boat but any boat that fits the above-mentioned description. They are generally used for recreational or pleasure purposes like cruising, entertaining, water sports, fishing, or year-round accommodations. Yachts can be classified based on size and function.

  • Motor Yacht

    A motor yacht is a sailboat powered by motors and can have multiple rooms within for accommodation. It can range between 8 and 25 metres and is primarily designed for comfort. Its speed ranges between 20 to 30 knots, depending on its size and features. These boats are also used in racing.

  • Sailing Yacht

    A sailing yacht is a watercraft powered by sails and mainly used for cruising and recreational purposes. They are large yachts that are mainly designed for comfort and cruising. Larger sailing yachts range between 2-30 metres and can either be commercial or private. A superyacht is any sailing yacht that is longer than 40 metres. They are designed differently based on whether they will be used for cruising or racing.

Rivers of Goa

If you have ever taken a road trip across Goa, you will know of the state’s scenic hinterland. The state is home to a multitude of hills, lakes, forests and rivers that help create a unique slow travel experience for anyone who seeks it. You can find a river to sail or kayak over, into an endless abyss of peace, pack a picnic on its banks, or plan a wedding in its verdant serenity. What’s more?

You can even explore the mangroves, spot crocodiles, different species of crabs and other sea as well as land animals. So for the nature lover in you, here are 11 rivers that are considered Goa’s lifelines and can offer you a different perspective of the state’s natural beauty:

  • Mandovi

    The Mandovi River is one of the most important rivers in Goa. It originates from the Belgavi district in Karnataka, where it is also known as the Mhadei. There are two bridges over the Mandovi that connect Panjim to a large part of North Goa, one of which is the Atal Setu bridge (India’s third-longest cable-stayed bridge). The river is home to the Salim Ali bird sanctuary, the beautiful islands of Chorao and Divar and even hosts a variety of cruise boats and casinos as well.

  • Zuari

    The Zuari River is Goa’s longest river which originates at Hemad-Barshem in the Western Ghats. Also known as Aghanashani, the river is a crucial source of livelihood for many Goans. It forms an estuarine system with the Mandovi, making it the backbone of Goa’s agricultural community. They are connected by the Cumbarjua canal which also allows for the transportation of iron ore on barges.

  • Sal

    The river Sal is believed to be one of the smallest in Goa and has become a well-loved tourist haunt. It offers a tranquil boating experience in its backwaters along with other activities such as kayaking and even fishing. It originates in Cavelossim, in the Goan taluka of Salcete and its backwaters are one of the best spots to go birdwatching.

  • Galgibaga

    The Galgibaga river is located in the south of Goa just a few kilometres ahead of Palolem. It drains into the Arabian sea near the Galgibaga beach which is a serene, secret little corner tucked away from the tourist crowds. One can get a spectacular view of the sunset from the bridge that passes over Canacona’s second largest river.

  • Terekhol

    The Terekhol River finds its origins in Manohargad in the Western Ghats and drains into the Arabian Sea. The river also serves as a boundary between North Goa and a small part of south Maharashtra. The fort Tiracol (now a heritage hotel) built in the 17th century also finds itself at the northern mouth of this river.

  • Chapora

    The Chapora river is one of the most scenic destinations in Goa. It originates in Ramghat and is popular for all kinds of recreational water activities. One can witness a marvellous sunset along the river-sea confluence from the Chapora fort and even engage in boating, water cruises and flyboarding at the river.

  • Saleri

    The Saleri river is an emerald piece of heaven that originates in the Quepem taluka of Goa. It flows for about 12kms to eventually join the Arabian sea. It is fed by the Pado, Agonda and Molore rivers.

  • Talpona

    The Talpona originates in the taluka of Canacona and is a very important river in Goa. It flows for almost 30 km before merging with the Arabian Sea. It has facilitated the construction of several small dams that help the surrounding villages with water for consumption and agriculture. It is known to have one of the rare mangrove ecosystems in the world.

  • Baga

    The Baga river rises from the forests of Assagao and finds its way to the Arabian Sea. It flows for about 10 km and is a popular spot for recreational tourist activities.

  • Mandre and Harmal

    The Mandre and Harmal rivers both originate in Corgao. The two rivers are both on the verge of extinction due to several anthropogenic and tourism-related projects that have even altered the river Harmal’s course.
