If you’re heading to idyllic Palolem beach during your visit to Goa, join us aboard Isla for an adventure in the emerald waters of the Arabian Sea. Whether you join us for a daily cruise, private charter or corporate event we offer an unforgettable experience and unrivalled hospitality.

Watch as fishermen pull in their nets, photograph the abundant wildlife, kayak to a remote beach, enjoy a tasty fish from the onboard barbeque, cast a fishing line or simply relax and let our crew spoil you. The spectacular backdrop of The Western Ghats, the dense coconut groves and the gentle sea breeze combine for the perfect ambience.

A unique experience awaits…

Isla is a traditional 52ft wooden boat built in teakwood by Goan craftsmen. Purchased in Goa 2005 by Bart (Australia) and Eve (UK), she has been fully refitted to a very comfortable standard with cushioned seating and sun loungers, spacious dining areas, bar, shade canopy, WC, bbq and generous deck. Isla is a large vessel but we keep the numbers limited to enhance your comfort and safety.

Additional onboard features include a Kayak, inflatable rowing boat, snorkeling gear, fishing tackle, fishfinder, fish identification charts and information on local history, culture and wildlife.

Along with our dedicated local crew we share a love of the sea and a passion for great food and service. In recognition of her successful contribution to the UK hospitality industry, Eve received a prestigious Acorn Award in 2003 from a leading publication in this field (June 2003" The Hotel and Caterer magazine"UK).

Our Captain Dilkush has over 20 years experience operating large fishing vessels along Goa's coast. All our crew are certified watersport operators and lifesavers. We provide ongoing safety training and have safety equipment onboard including rescue boat, lifejackets and satellite navigation.

We are the only sea going boat operator of our kind in Goa.
