On board
Blue Whale is a flybridge motor yacht carrying up to 18 guests from the Gateway of India in Colaba. Her dark blue hull is easy to pick out at anchor, and below deck she has a genuine cabin with an oval berth rather than a bare cuddy — a real point of difference at this end of our fleet.
The saloon is finished in leather with a wet bar, fridge and microwave, which makes her a comfortable pick for a [corporate outing](/blog/corporate-yacht-charters-india) or a longer celebration that needs somewhere proper to sit between stretches on deck. At 18 guests, see our [guide to group size and boat size](/blog/group-size-boat-size-guide) if you're weighing her against a smaller or larger boat.
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 group size for a firm price and a catering or decoration quote.

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 ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 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 catering 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 18 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 — a below-deck cabin with an oval berth, one of the more comfortable layouts in our fleet at this size.
