Charter rates, what's included, what isn't, and the add-ons that move the number. An honest breakdown before you start comparing quotes.

Yacht charter pricing in Goa is quoted per charter, not per person. That single fact explains most of the confusion when people compare quotes.

The base rate

Charters in our fleet start from ₹14,000 and run to ₹35,000 for the base sailing window, which is typically two to three hours. What moves the number:

Vessel size and finish. A 25-foot ultra-private yacht and a 42-foot party yacht with a full LED rig are different products at different prices.
Duration. Extra hours are charged at an hourly rate agreed upfront.
Season and day. December weekends price differently to a Tuesday in March.
Departure point. Panaji, Baga, Calangute and Candolim have different run times.

What is included

Every charter includes the vessel exclusively, professional crew, safety equipment and life jackets, a Bluetooth music system, an ice box, and complimentary mineral water and soft drinks. You are not sharing the deck with strangers.

What is not

Catering, alcohol, decor, DJ, photography and water sports are add-ons. This is normal across the industry, but it is also where quotes diverge — a low base rate with everything unbundled can end up costing more than a higher all-in number.

The add-ons worth paying for

Decor, if the sailing marks an occasion. It is the difference between a boat ride and an event.
A photographer, for proposals and milestone celebrations. You will not re-stage it.
Catering, for anything over three hours. Guests get hungry, and there is nowhere to go.

The add-ons that are often skipped

A professional DJ on a six-person charter. A Bluetooth playlist does the job and the deck is not big enough for the rig to matter.

How to compare quotes properly

Ask every operator for the same three numbers: base charter rate, hourly extension rate, and the all-in total with your specific add-ons. Compare the third number. That is the only one you will actually pay.
