"My grandfather rowed wooden launches off these same steps. We have only ever known one job — getting people safely across the harbour."
Kasimi Motor Launch Services is run today by Majidulla Ulde, who learnt the harbour from his father and grandfather before him. We own most of the boats we operate, and personally vet the yachts and sailboats we partner with. That is why every booking goes through one phone, not a call centre.

Things people ask before booking.
How do I book a boat or yacht in Mumbai?
The fastest way is the inquiry form above or WhatsApp. Tell us the date, destination, number of guests, and we will send a confirmed quote within 10 minutes during operating hours. No advance payment is needed to hold a quote.
Where do the rides start from?
All boats depart from the jetty at the Gateway of India, Colaba. We meet you on the steps 15 minutes before departure with your skipper and life jackets.
How much does a speed boat to Mandwa or Elephanta cost?
Pricing varies by boat size, day of the week and season. Our 8-seater Zamia and 12-seater Juveria are priced per trip (not per person), which works out cheaper for groups. Send an inquiry for a same-day quote.
Is it safe for kids and elderly guests?
Yes — our boats are Coast Guard licensed, life jackets are provided for every passenger including children's sizes, and our skippers can adjust speed for comfort. Ferry boats are the most stable option for elderly or large family groups.
What if the weather is bad?
Safety first, always. If the Coast Guard or Port authority restricts sailing, we either reschedule at no charge or refund 100% of any advance paid. Monsoon months (June–August) have limited operations.
Do you offer party packages with food and music?
Yes — our 60–70 seater ferries (Al Kasim, Hajra) can be hired as full party boats with sound system, decoration, catering and a bar setup. We coordinate the whole package; tell us the occasion and we will plan it.
Tell us the date. We'll handle the rest.
