Took the trip as a solo traveller and price was expensive as i had the boat to myself. Tour was ok, relaxing but just sailed out to sea and on the 45 minute mark, turned around and came back. Did see some dolphins which was a bonus. Would have been nicer to sail the coastline.
This was done through a partner called Oyster Sailing, and the sail never actually started. We motored over to the boat, then mostly sat there waiting for the wind to pick up and after waiting for an hour we went back to the dock. The company refuses to offer a refund or even an alternative date. The communication with them takes forever as they ignore my messages for days.
Our Group Of Friends Had Decided To Go For Sunset Sailing At Marine Drive, A Close One Recommended Oyster Sailing. From Booking To The Actual Experience Was Seamless, The Team Was Very Soft Spoken & Kind, Specially Zoran, Helped Us In All The Ways And Much More, The Sailing Boat Was Spacious And Accommodated 6 Of Us With Amount Of Room To Move Around. The View From Where They Take Is Is To Die For, Definitely Would Recommend To Everyone (:
We had a lovely time once we were in the water away from the crowds. It is peaceful and quiet once you get there. However, two things made the experience negative and hence the rating: 1) We paid for a sailing boat called the “McGregor”. This was advertised as an 8-seater. However, once they realized it would just be the three of us. We were put on a much smaller boat called the “Serendipity” which was cramped! The guide insisted this is the one we were to go on. A rather dishonest move on their part. 2) The guide insisted my friend pay him INR 500 to take the camera on board. When I insisted on a receipt he left without the money.
It was a great experience Good service would like to sail again sunder is the best time to sail . Would recommend my family members
