About the Nava

Nava is a 45-foot Jeanneau sailing yacht — one of the larger sailboats in the Saildeck fleet, carrying up to 12 guests from the Gateway of India in Colaba. Below deck she has a proper varnished teak saloon with wraparound seating and real cabins, not a bare cuddy, which is what separates her from the smaller day-sailors in our roster.

Her size and the enclosed saloon make her a comfortable choice for a [larger family charter](/blog/family-friendly-boating-mumbai-goa) with several generations aboard, or a group booking where guests want somewhere to sit out of the sun between stretches on deck. At 12 guests, see our [guide to group size and boat size](/blog/group-size-boat-size-guide) if you're weighing her against a smaller sailboat.

Boarding is by tender from the jetty near the Gateway of India. No sailing experience is needed — a skipper and crew run the boat throughout. Pricing is for the whole boat, not per person; message us on WhatsApp with your date and group size for a firm price.

Questions

Nava frequently asked

The things people ask before booking this boat. If yours is not here, message us — a real person answers.

How much does it cost to charter Nava?

From ₹7,000 for the whole boat on a weekday morning slot, up to ₹8,000 for the 6–8pm sunset departure. Weekends and public holidays run ₹500 higher across all slots.

What is included in the Nava charter price?

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.

How many guests can the Nava carry?

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.

Is there a minimum booking duration?

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.

How and where do we board?

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.

What happens if the weather is bad on our date?

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.

Can we bring our own food, cake and decorations?

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.

How far in advance should we book?

Weekday charters can often be arranged within the same week. Weekend slots, sunset departures and anything in December need two to three weeks' notice.

Does Nava have real cabins, not just a cuddy?

Yes — a teak-finished saloon and cabins below deck. She is one of the more comfortable sailboats in our fleet for a larger group that wants somewhere proper to sit between stretches on deck.
