M2M Ferries has considerably eased the travel from Mumbai to Alibaug. Within an hour, you can reach the Mini Goa of Maharashtra. But now, you might as well reach Goa too via a ferry ride. M2M Ferries is in the process of launching a Mumbai-Goa ro-ro service on its newly acquired RoPax vessel. While the permissions are in order, here’s what we know so far and how it is good news for travellers.
Mumbai-Goa Ro Ro Service
M2M Ferries operates daily ferry services between Mumbai and Mandwa. It has now pitched that it can complete a Mumbai-Goa sail in 6.5 hours! A RoPax vessel can accommodate passengers and vehicles. The ferry service, if approved, will run from Mazgaon Dock to Panaji Jetty Dock. The permissions for the latter are currently in talks with the Goa government officials. This vessel can carry about 620 passengers and 60 vehicles.
When Will Mumbai-Goa RoRo Ferry Start?
New reports indicate that a tentative timeline for the Mumbai to Goa RoRo ferry to begin by the end of March.
Mumbai Goa Ferry Ticket Cost
The fare structure of the Mumbai-Goa ferry is yet to be decided. But as per reports, M2M Ferries is seeking government fuel subsidies and tax concessions to keep ticket prices affordable for travellers.
Will Mumbai-Goa RoRo Service Be Better Than Flights to Goa
The Mumbai-Goa RoRo ferry offers a significant advantage for leisure travelers heading to Goa. If you’re planning a holiday, you can bring your private vehicle, saving on rental costs while enjoying the convenience of having your own transport.
Instead of enduring a 10-hour drive, you can sail to Goa in just 6 to 6.5 hours, making the journey quicker and more relaxing. Simply drive to the Ferry Wharf in Mazgaon, board the ferry, and enjoy a smooth sail. Plus, traveling by car allows you to carry more luggage than a flight would permit, which is perfect for longer stays in Goa. For business travellers, flight would always be a convenient option to get to Goa.
If this ferry service starts by the end of the month as expected, planning a summer retreat to Goa may just get easier. You can save on travel time, enjoy the endless ocean on a comfortable sail and arrive by the beaches for a tropical summer getaway!
