Private charter
Your own vessel
A private charter gives your group a vessel to itself. Ask about sea-going Classic Imperial or Classic Paradise, a backwater boat, or hourly hire of a speed boat. Tell us the kind of gathering you have in mind and we will discuss the boat and date that suit it.
Spend time with your guests on Kochi's water. Classic Paradise and Classic Imperial have spaces for music and gatherings; backwater boats offer another kind of outing. Share your plans for food, activities and the route so we can set out the arrangements in your proposal.
Start with an enquiry. Tell us your date, guest count and the time you would like aboard, then review the quote before confirming. If you would rather join a sailing with other guests, choose a scheduled cruise and book individual seats.
