Unreliable.
Under no circumstances pay in advance!!!
We waited in vain for half an hour at the agreed location without anyone showing up.
The company was unreachable.
A refund of the price was denied.
Operator response
Dear Sir,
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Upon receiving your booking, we attempted to contact you 2 days before on the phone number provided; however, it was not reachable and was also unavailable on WhatsApp. We additionally tried reaching you through Tripadvisor messages but unfortunately did not receive any response.
We also contacted the Tripadvisor support team to check if they could assist us with an alternate contact number, however we did not receive any positive response from their end either.
Upon your arrival at the meeting point, our staff attended to you and was in the process of arranging the transfer boat. In Mumbai, the sailboat is not directly accessible from the jetty, and guests are required to take a small transfer boat to reach the sailboat.
Once the transfer boat arrived, our team member came out to receive you, however unfortunately you were not available at the location. The transfer boat and the captain were waiting for you as well. We again tried reaching you via calls and Tripadvisor messages, however we did not receive any response.
We truly regret the experience and would love the opportunity to host you again for another sailing experience. Please let us know your availability, and we would be happy to arrange the same for you.

Amazing experience
Celebrated my 50th bday on Lagoon 560.
The whole experience was amazing. All the friends were raving about it. They loved that it was so tranquil and the gentle lapping motion of the waves was so soothing. The yacht is spacious so for 22 of us it meant that we could move around and dance freely. The Bluetooth speakers were blasting music and we paired our devices so enjoyed our kind of music.
We carried our own food. But people just grabbed a few bites to fill their stomach. No one was really interested in the food. All wanted to enjoy the various vantage points of the yacht. The catamaran style with its nets was a popular spot to lie down and look up at the sky.
Vivek from Oyster, was looking after everything for us. From the time of booking till he waved us off at Jetty 5, he was with us. Had asked him to put fairy lights across the yacht. They looked so pretty in the night.
Believe me 2 hrs just went by flying. They also have 3 hrs packages. Which would be a very good idea.

Rare moments of peace and nature in Mumbai
Sunset sail was a lovely and peaceful experience. Comfort and safety was well taken care of. Initially was skeptical that sea might be dirty/crowded but wasnt either.

I had an incredible experience with Oyster Sailing Company. From start to finish, the service was outstanding, and the crew was professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The yacht was in pristine condition, offering luxury and comfort while ensuring a smooth and safe journey. The sailing routes were breathtaking, with stunning coastal views and crystal-clear waters. Whether relaxing on deck or getting hands-on with the sailing, every moment was enjoyable.

Great experience
Great arrangements as promised. Boat was nice and well maintained. Sailer was professional and well behaved. Side railing height can be increased a little. While drop experience was good, pick up.experience can be improved further. Overall, loved the experience. Would love to visit again
