On board
Playboy is a private sailboat for up to 7 guests, departing from the Gateway of India in Colaba. She has become a regular pick for [anniversaries and proposals](/blog/how-to-plan-a-proposal-on-a-yacht) — her bow decorates well with roses and ribbon, and her modest size keeps the moment feeling private rather than staged.
On deck, open seating around the bow and cockpit suits a small group comfortably, with a cuddy below for shade and storage. No sailing experience is needed — a skipper runs the boat throughout, and decoration, a cake or a flower bouquet can all be arranged ahead of boarding.
Boarding is by motorboat transfer from the jetty near the Gateway of India. Pricing is for the whole boat, not per person; message us on WhatsApp with your date, group size and occasion for a firm price and a decoration quote if you'd like one.

Questions
The things people ask before booking this boat. If yours is not here, message us — a real person answers.
From ₹4,500 for the whole boat on a weekday morning slot, up to ₹5,500 for the 6–8pm sunset departure. Weekends and public holidays run ₹500 higher across all slots.
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 7 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 — it's one of the boats we recommend most for exactly that. Roses, ribbon and balloon decoration on the bow are all things we've arranged on this boat before.
