Golden Eye XS-63 Yacht – Private Sailing in Mumbai
Private Sailboat Experience | Gateway of India | Mumbai Harbour | 2 Hours
Mumbai looks very different from the water.
Leave the traffic of Colaba behind, step onto a sailboat, and watch the city slowly become part of the horizon. The Gateway of India gets smaller, the Arabian Sea opens up around you, and for a couple of hours, the usual Mumbai rush feels surprisingly far away.
The Golden Eye XS-63 is a private sailing experience for couples, families and small groups who want to experience Mumbai from the sea. This is not a crowded ferry ride or a fast boat trip. It is a relaxed sail across the waters around South Mumbai, with the wind, waves and skyline becoming part of the experience.
If you are looking for sailing in Mumbai, a private sailboat at Gateway of India, yacht booking in Mumbai, a romantic yacht ride, sunset sailing or a unique experience with friends and family, the Golden Eye XS-63 is a beautiful way to spend two hours on the Arabian Sea.
Golden Eye XS-63 – A Sailboat Experience in Mumbai
The Golden Eye XS-63 is designed for people who want to enjoy the simple pleasure of being out on the water.
Your experience starts near the Gateway of India in Colaba. From Jetty No. 5, a short motorboat transfer takes you to the sailing boat waiting offshore.
Once you step aboard the Golden Eye, the atmosphere changes.
The city becomes quieter. The breeze picks up. The coastline slowly moves away and the sails become the centre of attention.
There is no need to rush.
Sit back, talk with your friends, take photographs, enjoy the sea breeze or simply watch Mumbai from a completely different perspective.
Why Sail on the Golden Eye XS-63?
There are plenty of ways to see Mumbai. Sailing gives you a completely different view.

Sailing in Mumbai from Gateway of India
The Gateway of India is one of the most iconic places to begin a sailing experience in Mumbai.
From the jetty, you move away from the busy waterfront and into Mumbai Harbour. As the boat heads towards open water, the familiar South Mumbai skyline starts looking completely different.
You can see the city from the perspective of the Arabian Sea, with the Gateway of India and Colaba becoming part of the backdrop.
For visitors to Mumbai, this is a chance to experience the city beyond its streets and monuments.
For locals, it is a simple way to escape the city without actually leaving Mumbai.
A Private Yacht Experience, Not a Crowded Boat Ride
The Golden Eye XS-63 is booked as a private sailing experience.
That means your sailing time is for your own group rather than sharing the sailboat with random passengers.
It works particularly well for:
-
Couples
-
Friends
-
Families
-
Small groups
-
Birthday celebrations
-
Anniversary celebrations
-
Romantic dates
-
Marriage proposals
-
Photography
-
Weekend experiences in Mumbai
Instead of planning an elaborate day outside the city, you can spend a couple of hours on the Arabian Sea and come back to Gateway of India with a completely different memory of Mumbai.
Sunset Sailing in Mumbai
There is something special about Mumbai at sunset.
The buildings of South Mumbai begin to glow, the sea catches the changing colours of the sky, and the city's skyline slowly turns into a silhouette.
A sunset sailing experience in Mumbai is particularly popular with couples and people celebrating a special occasion.
You can plan a:
-
Romantic yacht ride
-
Sunset date
-
Anniversary celebration
-
Birthday surprise
-
Marriage proposal
-
Couple photography session
-
Evening sailing with friends
Please note that sunset timing and sailing conditions change throughout the year, so your exact experience depends on the booked time slot and weather conditions.
Morning Sailing in Mumbai
If sunsets are about colours, mornings are about calm.
Morning sailing can be a beautiful choice if you prefer cooler weather, softer light and a quieter atmosphere around the harbour.
Early departures are also popular with photographers and people who simply want to enjoy the sea before the city becomes busy.
There may also be opportunities for dolphin sightings, although wildlife sightings are naturally not guaranteed.
Golden Eye XS-63 for Couples
Looking for a romantic yacht ride in Mumbai without booking a huge luxury yacht?
The Golden Eye XS-63 offers a more intimate sailing experience.
Spend time together away from traffic, restaurants and crowded places. Bring your camera, enjoy the breeze and watch the Mumbai skyline from the water.
It can be planned for:
Date • Anniversary • Birthday • Proposal • Surprise • Sunset Sailing
Special decoration can also be discussed in advance, subject to availability and additional charges.
Birthday on a Yacht in Mumbai
A birthday does not always have to mean a restaurant or a party hall.
Take your friends or family sailing instead.
The Golden Eye XS-63 gives you a private setting on the water where you can celebrate, take photographs and enjoy Mumbai from offshore.
Balloon decoration and other celebration arrangements may be available as add-ons. Please confirm the current options and charges while booking.
Anniversary Sailing in Mumbai
An anniversary deserves something different.
Instead of spending another evening indoors, head to Gateway of India and sail into the Arabian Sea.
The combination of open water, sea breeze, Mumbai's skyline and sunset makes the Golden Eye XS-63 a memorable setting for an anniversary celebration.
You can also enquire about yacht decoration, balloons, cake or other celebration arrangements before your booking.

Golden Eye XS-63 – Mumbai's City Lights From the Sea
Some Mumbai experiences are loud, busy and fast.
This one isn't.
The Golden Eye XS-63 is about leaving the noise behind for a while and allowing the sea to set the pace.
You start at Gateway of India. You cross the harbour. The city moves into the distance. The sails catch the wind, the skyline opens up and suddenly Mumbai feels much quieter.
You don't need to travel far to feel like you've escaped.
You just need to sail.
Book your Golden Eye XS-63 private sailing experience in Mumbai with BookMySailing and discover the city from the Arabian Sea.
