A flybridge motor yacht with a proper master cabin — Saildeck's most premium boat.
On board
The Azimut 38 is the most premium boat in the Saildeck fleet — a 38-foot Italian-built flybridge motor yacht with a genuine master cabin, not a curtained-off berth. Below deck she has two full cabins, including a master with a round double bed and mood lighting, and an enclosed, air-conditioned saloon with a proper galley and dining table. She carries up to 12 guests and departs from the Gateway of India in Colaba.
The flybridge is what sets her apart on the water: a second helm station up top with its own lounge seating, so the captain can run the boat from open air while guests spread across three distinct decks — the bow sun pad, the flybridge lounge and the aft cockpit — rather than sharing one. It's a motor yacht rather than a sailing yacht, which means a smoother, faster ride and an enclosed saloon to retreat to if the weather turns.
This is the boat we put forward for a [corporate charter](/blog/corporate-yacht-charters-india) that needs to look the part, or a celebration where guests want real cabins rather than open deck seating — the round-bed master cabin in particular gets requested for anniversaries and proposals. At 12 guests she sits comfortably above our sailboats for [group size](/blog/group-size-boat-size-guide), without stepping up to the full 25–30 guest flagship.
Boarding is by tender from the jetty near the Gateway of India. Pricing is for the whole boat, not per person; message us on WhatsApp with your date and head count for a firm price. The sunset slot is the one most people ask for first on this boat, given the flybridge view.

Questions
The things people ask before booking this boat. If yours is not here, message us — a real person answers.
Two-hour slots run from ₹25,000 to ₹32,000 depending on the time of day, with sunset slots priced highest. See the pricing table above for every departure time. An additional hour, overnight anchorage and on-board photoshoots are all quoted separately.
The captain and crew, fuel for the standard route, life jackets for every guest and the on-board sound system. Catering, bar service, decoration, water sports and extra hours are quoted separately and confirmed before you pay anything.
Up to 12 guests. This is fixed by the vessel's coast guard licence and cannot be exceeded for any reason, so please give us an accurate head count when you enquire — including children and infants.
Two hours on weekends and public holidays, one hour midweek. Island and full-day charters are quoted as a package rather than by the hour.
Boarding is from the jetty, where a tender runs you out to the yacht at anchor — usually about ten minutes. The exact jetty and reporting time are confirmed on your booking sheet the day before.
If the coast guard suspends sailing or the captain judges conditions unsafe, we reschedule your charter to another date at no cost. That call is made on safety grounds, never commercial ones.
Outside food and a cake are generally fine, and we will confirm for this specific boat. Alcohol rules vary by vessel and by the permits in force on the day, so check with us before buying anything.
Weekday charters can often be arranged within the same week. Weekend slots, sunset departures and anything in December need two to three weeks' notice.
Yes — two full cabins, including a master cabin with a round double bed. She is the only boat in our fleet built for an overnight stay rather than just a day charter.
A second helm and lounge up top means guests are not all sharing one deck — some can be on the bow sun pad, some on the flybridge, some in the air-conditioned saloon, all at once. It also gives the best vantage point on the boat for a sunset departure.
