Stepping aboard a compact yacht at Apollo Bunder, the city exhales behind you and the Arabian Sea takes the lead. The crew eases the lines and Mumbai’s shoreline—Gateway of India, low-rise colonial roofs, and the distant silhouette of oil rigs—slides into view. Lighthouses stand like watchful posts; anchored merchant ships bob patiently. If luck favors you, a pod of dolphins will slice the wake into playful arcs, the sea nudging you onward.
