Salt air tangles in your hair as the wake splits under a Hobie Cat, the Arabian Sea nudging the hulls as you learn to balance speed and seamanship. At Mandwa Jetty, turquoise water and steady coastal winds make this stretch of the Konkan coast an ideal classroom; the sea seems to test your timing with each gust and lull.
The course sits on the historical Konkan shoreline—an area used for coastal trade for centuries and dotted with colonial and Maratha-era forts. Geologically, the shoreline is a low-lying mix of sandy beach, mangrove fringe and rocky outcrops that shape local currents and produce reliable onshore breezes. Culturally, Mandwa is a working coastal village where fishing and ferry traffic to Mumbai remain daily rhythms; instructors here blend international RYA techniques with local knowledge of tides and winds.
Practical guidance: this Learn to Multihull course teaches rigging, helming, trapeze technique, seamanship and on-water safety across roughly 12–15 hours spread over 2–3 days (typical sessions 11:00–17:00). Expect step-by-step coaching on Hobie Cats, rescue-boat support, life jackets and basic safety radio protocol. Facilities include changing rooms and showers; course materials and an AYA Certificate of Competency are provided on completion.
Plan for sun and spray: wear quick-dry layers, reef-capable footwear and reef-safe sunscreen. Be prepared for moderate physical effort—climbing on and off the trampoline, hiking the boat, and trapezing require core strength and balance. If you have spinal, heart or pregnancy restrictions, the provider advises against participation. When practiced with respect for tides and local habitats, this course is an efficient way to move from curious passenger to confident multihull sailor.

Mandwa and nearby Alibag lie on the Konkan coast with a long maritime history tied to coastal trade; nearby forts reflect colonial and Maratha-era control of shipping routes.
Use reef-safe sunscreen, pack out all waste, and avoid trampling vegetated dunes and mangroves—these coastal habitats are fragile and support local fisheries.
