The ship
MV Hayathi
A 150-guest catamaran built for time on the sea, with the open Sky Deck above and the Sea Deck below.
Built for the sea
A catamaran has two hulls side by side, which gives it a wide, steady deck: room to move around, sit at a table and look out at the water. MV Hayathi uses that space for 150 guests across 2 decks, with seating for dining and for watching the sea.
The catamaran sails from Pondicherry Port three times a day: breakfast cruise, lunch cruise and dinner cruise. It can also be booked as a whole for your own occasion: see private charters.

On the water
From the jetty the catamaran heads out to sea, where the town's seafront stretches along the horizon. Each cruise returns to the same jetty.
The crew briefs every guest on safety before sailing. Life jackets are provided for every guest, including children and infants.
