Solita Private Yacht
Goa
Solita is a family-run motor yacht which sails Goa’s gorgeous coastline and backwaters. She is the most exclusive yacht in Goa for private charters, 42 foot long with easy seating accommodation on the flybridge, rear and front decks. Beneath the spacious deck are handcrafted teak interiors. There is a large lounge room with a stereo system, fully equipped pantry, two bedroom cabins with en-suite toilets and shower. The yacht comes with a crew of four including the captain, an engineer and two deck hand stewards. To give you an idea of what you can enjoy on Solita, here is a suggested day trip itinerary:
In the morning, cruise out to sea passing the Reis Magos Fort, Miramar Beach, the Governor's Residence and the Historical Aguada Jail. You are likely to see dolphins - watching them jump out of the water is a special sight! Drop anchor in front of a palm-fringed beach to swim, lap up the sun and to enjoy a lunch on board the yacht. After lunch, cruise to Old Goa where you can disembark to visit the famous Churches which are World Heritage Monuments. In the afternoon, let the `Solita’ take you on a gentle journey on the Mapusa and Mandovi rivers giving you a glimpse of the village life along the Goan backwaters. This is also an area of rich birdlife. Enjoy the sunset and when darkness falls, set anchor in a quiet bay to enjoy a delicious seafood dinner under the Goan stars. Solita can be booked as a day trip or an overnight stay.
I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.
