There’s total quietude at daybreak, except for the sound of water slapping the sides of the classic 42ft yacht oozing oomph and style.
Romantically named Solita, it is Goa’s first luxurious boat available for charter. With three decks, cozy niches for reading and sipping cocktails, a lounge with a pantry and two teakwood cabins that exude an aura of easy elegance… the Solita may well make you feel like a wannabe Jacqueline Onassis.
Plunge into the Mandovi river for an early morning swim; go dolphin spotting; float down Goa’s backwaters.
Drop anchor and stay for a night or two at Summertime, a luxury villa owned and run by the owners of Solita.
