India Boats · Guide
Both the public ferry and a private speed boat will get you across to Mandwa, the gateway to Alibaug — but the experience is quite different.
Speed and privacy: a private speed boat crossing takes about 20 to 25 minutes, and it is just your group on board, departing on your schedule rather than a fixed timetable. A shared ferry can take longer overall once you account for boarding, waiting for departure, and sharing the crossing with other passengers.
Flexibility: with a private transfer, you set your own departure time and can book a one-way or return trip to suit your plans. A ferry runs on its own fixed schedule.
Cost: a private speed boat transfer costs more than a shared ferry ticket, but you are paying for privacy, speed and flexibility rather than splitting a seat on a shared vessel. For current ferry fares and timetables, check directly with the ferry operator, as these change from time to time.
For a day trip, a special occasion, or simply wanting the fastest, most comfortable crossing, a private speed boat transfer is the more direct option. Our one-way transfers to Mandwa start at ₹9,000.
