About Mumbai

Why is Mumbai a good sailing destination?

Mumbai, often referred to as the ‘City of Dreams’, is more than just India’s economic powerhouse. With its strategic location on the western coast, it offers some of the most intriguing sailing experiences in the Arabian Sea. Yachting.Rent is proud to facilitate these unforgettable journeys, as we believe Mumbai’s appeal extends far beyond its bustling cityscape.

The city’s coastline, punctuated by stunning beaches and historic ports, presents a fascinating blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. From the yacht, you’ll witness the enchanting Mumbai skyline, featuring landmarks like the Gateway of India, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, and the unique architectural contrast of modern skyscrapers and colonial-era buildings. The panoramic view of the city from the sea, especially at sunset, is simply breathtaking.

Mumbai’s nautical conditions also make it an ideal sailing destination. The city enjoys a tropical climate, which means warm and sunny weather for the most part of the year. The monsoon season, although rainy, brings its own unique charm and beauty to the seascape. Moreover, the wind conditions are generally favorable for sailing, with moderate winds allowing for leisurely cruises as well as more exciting sailing experiences.

Proximity to other intriguing destinations adds another layer to Mumbai’s sailing appeal. Sail north to explore the unspoiled beauty of Konkan Coast or head south to Goa for its vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches. Alternatively, set course for the idyllic Elephanta Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with ancient cave temples.

Lastly, Mumbai is a hub of marine life. On your sailing expedition, you can spot dolphins dancing alongside your yacht, observe diverse bird species, and if lucky, even encounter majestic whales. This interaction with nature adds a serene and relaxing dimension to your sailing adventure.

In conclusion, Mumbai’s unique blend of natural beauty, diverse marine life, favorable sailing conditions, and rich cultural history make it a compelling sailing destination. Let Yachting.Rent guide you on an exploration of Mumbai’s waters, where the city’s vibrancy and charm extend far beyond its shorelines.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Mumbai

At Yachting.Rent, we offer a wide array of options, including both sailing boats and catamarans, for your adventurous voyage across the waters of Mumbai. Each vessel type comes with its unique set of features and advantages, catering to varying sailing preferences and group sizes.

Our sailing boats are perfect for those who want to experience the traditional thrill of sailing. These boats provide an intimate setting for small groups and couples. They come in different sizes and configurations, offering a true sailing experience where you can actively engage with the wind and sea. Feel the salty sea breeze in your hair and listen to the sound of waves lapping against the hull as you sail along Mumbai’s captivating coastline.

On the other hand, our catamarans offer stability, space, and comfort. With their dual-hull design, catamarans are renowned for their stability in the water, making them an excellent choice for those prone to seasickness or families with children. The spacious design includes large deck areas for sunbathing and relaxation, and many catamarans also feature additional amenities such as onboard BBQs, trampolines, and more.

Choosing between a sailing boat and a catamaran essentially depends on your group’s size, sailing experience, and the kind of experience you’re seeking. If you’re a couple or a small group wanting to feel the thrill of traditional sailing, a sailing boat might be your ideal choice. For larger groups or families seeking stability, space, and additional onboard facilities, a catamaran could be a better fit.

Regardless of your choice, you can rest assured that all vessels in our fleet are equipped with modern navigation systems and safety equipment. Our boats are meticulously maintained and ready to provide you with a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable sailing experience.

Whether you choose to navigate the waters of Mumbai on a sleek sailing boat or a luxurious catamaran, Yachting.Rent is committed to making your sailing adventure a memory to cherish for a lifetime.

Dust storm in Mumbai: How it could pose a health risk

Mumbai was caught off guard by strong winds, unseasonal rain, and a massive dust storm on Monday. However, besides the destruction, dust storms may also have negative effects on people’s health, triggering allergic reactions, breathing issues, cardiovascular complications, skin problems, and itchy and burning eyes read more

Mumbai was caught off guard by strong winds, unseasonal rain, and a massive dust storm on Monday.

An illegal billboard fell in Ghatkopar, killing more than a dozen and injuring several others.

Flight and train services were temporarily suspended, hundreds of trees were uprooted and heavy traffic was snarled due to accidents.

However, besides the destruction, there are also potential health impacts of dust storms on people.

Let’s take a look.

Dust storm wreaks havoc in Mumbai

At least 14 people were killed and 74 injured after a 100-foot tall illegal billboard fell at a petrol pump in Ghatkopar’s Cheddanagar Junction during dust storms and rains, as per civic officials.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the spot of the hoarding collapse incident in Ghatkopar late in the evening and ordered a structural audit of all hoardings in Mumbai city. He also announced five lakh compensation for the kin of the deceased, according to PTI .

This comes a few hours after the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) reached the spot to rescue the people trapped under the rubble. BMC commissioner Bhushan Gagrani said that 20 to 30 are still trapped.

In Bandra, a branch of a tree fell on a shop, trapping two people. “Of them, a 38-year-old died while another person was seriously injured,” a civic official said.

A total of 187 incidents of tree or branch fall were reported in Mumbai and suburbs, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said. Of these, 16 incidents occurred in the island city, 104 in the eastern suburbs and 67 in the western suburbs.

In Wadala, an under-construction metal parking tower collapsed on a road amid gusty winds, injuring three people and damaging vehicles. Of the total injured persons, 56 were admitted to Rajawadi Hospital and others were admitted to three separate hospitals.

One person was injured when the iron gate of a housing society collapsed, while a person practising on a yacht in the sea sustained a minor injury due to gusty winds.

The unseasonal rain and dust storms led to the suspension of flight operations at Mumbai airport for an hour in the evening due to low visibility, services of local trains were delayed, and traffic snarls were seen in several areas.

As many as 15 flights were diverted to different airports and the runways operation resumed at 5.03 pm, the airport operator said.

Local train services on the Central Railway were suspended for more than two hours after the overhead equipment got damaged between two stations due to the storm and rains, inconveniencing passengers in the evening rush hour. Western Railway services were also delayed by at least 15–20 minutes.

Several parts of Mumbai witnessed heavy traffic snarls due to incidents of trees falling and rain. BEST buses were diverted at some locations due to rain and falling trees.

Health impacts

The health impacts of sand and dust storms can be serious.

Dust storms can lead to an allergic reaction in patients with asthma.

Of particular concern are PM10 particles.

“These are very very fine, very mobile when dry, and easy to inhale into the lungs. Here they can damage tissues – not least as PM10s are often comprised of small (sometimes microscopically sharp) particles of quartz,” The Telegraph quoted Prof Thomas.

According to Health Shots , exposure to particulate matter can also lead to cardiovascular complications, such as increased risk of heart disease, stroke, blood pressure, and other diseases.

Exposure to such harmful particles in the air can also lead to several skin problems.

Dr Bangia told Health Shots , “Dust particles and pollutants can strip the skin of its natural oils, which can make your skin feel dehydrated. Then there are cases of allergic reactions that happen because these dust particles cause irritation, allergies and various kinds of hives.”

Another consequence of getting exposed to dust particles is itching and burning eyes.

A study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health reported that continuous exposure to dust particles can lead to eye conditions as well.

Experts also found a link between meningitis outbreaks and these storms. The “African Meningitis Belt,” a region of sub-Saharan Africa, has the largest concentration of the illness, according to The Telegraph . Due to its high fatality rate, quick onset, and tendency to leave survivors brain-damaged or deaf, it is one of the most feared diseases in Africa.

According to one explanation, dusty environments harm the epithelial cells that line the throat and nose, making it possible for bacteria and other diseases to enter the circulation. This results in symptoms including photophobia, severe headaches, and vomiting by infecting and inflaming the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.

A worrying global trend

The skies turning an apocalyptic orange or dark might be a frequent sight in the coming years.

This is because sand and dust storms are reportedly becoming “increasingly frequent and severe” across large parts of the globe, according to the United Nations.

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) said an estimated two billion tonnes of sand and dust enters the atmosphere every year, wreaking havoc across large parts of Asia and Africa and causing significant economic damage throughout the world.

Strong winds create storms as they sweep across dry regions without plant covers, picking up dust and carrying it to the low-level atmosphere. These gusty winds transport them for thousands of kilometres, crossing deserts, countries and even oceans, as per The Telegraph .

Ahmedabad witnessed a sudden change in weather on Monday evening, 13 May 2024, as strong winds and a duststorm accompanied by light rainfall in the evening reduced visibility in the city. Hoardings were damaged in Ahmedabad, and a mobile tower got uprooted in Gandhinagar, with no report of casualties.

A police post collapsed due to strong winds at Vadia in Banaskantha district. In its latest forecast, the IMD said light thunderstorms with lightning were likely at isolated places in Aravalli, Dahod, Mahisagar, Dangs, Valsad, Surendranagar, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Anand, Bharuch and Surat in the next two days.

After days of severe heatwave, Delhi-NCR and parts of North India experienced high winds with dust and debris in the late hours on 10 May, creating an orange blanket. The gusty winds, according to The Quint , killed two and injured at least six people.

Similar scenes were witnessed in October last year, when the National Capital was covered with a blanket of orange dust, lowering the air quality and reducing the visibility to over 1,000 metres, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

In Greece, millions of people deal with the fallout from one of the worst dust storms to hit in six years. The authorities have issued an advisory, especially asking those suffering from respiratory conditions to limit their time outside, The Telegraph reported.

Last year, in September, parts of the United Kingdom were engulfed with hazy skies and orange clouds of dust.

In 2022, Iraq was hit by 10 storms in just two months. The country recorded only a handful per year a decade ago, the report said.

The Great Plains in America had twice as many storm reports by 2020 as there had been in the past 20 years.

The same year, a storm known as Godzilla caused record-breaking “hazardous” levels in the Sahara.

What’s behind it

Scientists have highlighted agricultural practices, water use, soil management, deforestation, urbanisation, and climate change as possible contributors to the dust storms.

These kinds of activities contribute to the “desertification” phenomenon, which is the progressive conversion of productive land into an arid desert. Furthermore, more desert equals more storm fuel.

Recent studies by the UN estimate that human activity is responsible for at least 25 per cent of the world’s dust emissions.

Professor David Thomas, from the Oxford University Centre for the Environment, was quoted by The Telegraph , “Any human action on the margins of deserts… that reduces the size of water bodies or which removes natural vegetation, enhances the risk of dust storms if the underlying sediments and soils are fine enough to be picked up by the wind.”

He cites the depletion of the Iraqi marshes during the First Gulf War by Saddam Hussain and the drying out of the Aral Sea between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan as examples of human-caused events that have produced artificial dust sources.

But most of them are also unrelated to humans.

“We must disaggregate what is natural, and what is potentially enhanced by human agency,” said Prof Thomas, while citing the Sahara as a “natural source of dust.” Dry lake beds, inherited from water climate conditions in the distant past, are all around the world sources of dust.

Action needed

To reduce the potential impacts of these storms, the UN urges high-risk countries to consider forecasting tools and early warning systems.

The global agency has recommended a practice of land restoration, which uses soil and water management techniques to increase vegetative cover,

Funding efforts to combat desertification and degradation was also a major challenge, Ibrahim Thiaw, UNCCD executive secretary, told Reuters , noting that just $15 billion was made available over 2016-2019 to tackle problems spanning 126 countries.

Notably, China is leading the way here with its ambitious tree-planting project.

As per The Telegraph , under the Green Great Wall initiative that began in 1978, more than 66 billion trees have been planted, with 100 billion planned by 2050.

The Xi Jinping-led country has also developed an AI tool, nicknamed Dust Watcher, to predict storms and save economies millions. The tool can predict the timing and severity of an incoming storm hourly and up to 12 hours in advance.

During a trial run last year, the tool made 13 per cent fewer errors than non-AI models, the report claimed.

Now One Fast Train From Tokyo: Culture, Crafts and Hot Springs

A new high-speed train stop unlocks Kaga, a destination for onsen, nourishing food and traditional crafts, as an easy-to-reach getaway from Japan’s capital.

Supported by

By Hannah Kirshner

Hannah Kirshner lives in Yamanaka, Japan, and wrote a book about the people crafting and cultivating the town’s culture, including sake brewers, woodworkers and foragers.

• May 17, 2024

At the southwest corner of Ishikawa, a verdant prefecture hugging the Sea of Japan, traditional craftsmanship thrives alongside contemporary art and architecture in the small towns that make up Kaga City.

Three of these towns — Katayamazu Onsen, Yamashiro Onsen and Yamanaka Onsen — are famous for their onsen, or hot springs. In centuries past, monks and merchant seamen made pilgrimages to these restorative waters. The 17th-century haiku master Matsuo Basho even penned two poems during a visit.

Japanese tourists still flock to Kaga’s onsen towns every fall, when the leaves turn fiery and snow crab is in season. But few foreigners find their way here, in part because the journey from Tokyo has not been easy.

That changed in March. A new extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, the high-speed train that rockets passengers from Tokyo to this region, now includes a stop at Kagaonsen station. The trip takes less than three hours on a single train.

When I first came to Kaga in 2015, the journey took two trains and nearly four hours from Tokyo. There was little English signage at the station and Google Maps didn’t yet list the (infrequent) local buses.

I had come to apprentice at a bar in Yamanaka, where I met people who craft wooden bowls, brew sake and make paper from mountain shrubs. Enchanted, I returned to write a book about how their work weaves into the vibrant local culture and community; by the time it was published, Yamanaka had become my home.

I set out earlier this year to be a tourist in my adopted home, looking for places that express the unique character of each of Kaga’s three onsen towns.

Katayamazu: Where retro meets modern

In Kaga, public bath houses (segregated by gender) are so ingrained in daily life that many homes were built without a shower or bath. I lived for a time in such an apartment, enjoying the daily ritual of showering among the softly echoing voices of neighbors and soaking in a communal pool of onsen water shrouded in steam.

Katayamazu , a fading red-light district, is the least traditional of Kaga’s onsen towns. Its public bathhouse, a glass and steel box, gleams along the edge of Shibayama Lagoon. The building was designed by Yoshio Taniguchi — the architect of New York’s Museum of Modern Art expansion — as part of a revitalization effort. It stands in contrast to Katayamazu’s dated hotels and shuttered shops, remnants of an exuberant domestic tourism boom from the ’60s through the ’80s, followed by decades of economic stagnation .

I frequent the bathhouse on odd-numbered days, when women get to bathe on the side overlooking the lagoon. In winter, it’s possible to spot migratory Mandarin ducks gliding across the reflection of snow-capped Mt. Haku, the tallest peak in Ishikawa. A cafe upstairs overlooks the same panorama, but I prefer the coffee across the street at Mie Coffee , served in local pottery. (Like many small businesses here, they take irregular holidays, so check their Instagram for hours.)

I stayed one night at Besso , a spare but cozy inn converted from a massage parlor, and walked along silent streets to a bar called Kikko , a 1970s time capsule with stained glass windows draped in red velvet, jazz and soul albums decorating the walls and a record player in the corner. The barman, 85-year-old Tokio Kameya, jokes that “even I am retro now.”

A group of amateur sumo wrestlers were wrapping up a karaoke party as I sat down. Kameya-san poured me a Japanese whiskey over perfectly clear ice and played a bossa nova record as he tidied up. He told me his bar caters to locals (it is cash only, no written menu, and no English spoken) and he doesn’t think Katayamazu has much to offer tourists. But to me the town’s charm is its anachronistic mix of modernity and kitsch.

Yamashiro: A meditation on art and fish

Onsen go hand in hand with ryokan, Japanese inns where guests luxuriate over elaborate seasonal meals and soak in mineral-rich baths. On my birthday in January, as snow blanketed Yamashiro, I checked into Beniya Mukayu , a 16-room ryokan tucked into the woods.

Guests who stay at least two nights can book experiences with artisans — making paper, shaping Japanese sweets or roasting tea — but I would happily spend days of quiet contemplation in the ryokan’s communal spaces. I hardly saw anyone as I soaked in a hinoki-wood onsen that frames a vignette of swaying bamboo, its rustling leaves harmonizing with the sound of running water.

On a map of the garden’s 13 varieties of moss, I recognized the spare typography of the designer and thinker Kenya Hara (best known as the art director of Muji, the Japanese retailer). Beniya Mukayu’s owners, Sachiko and Kazunari Nakamichi, share with Hara a decades-long friendship and exploration of minimalist Japanese aesthetics.

Later, while other guests trickled into the ryokan’s dining room for crab shabu shabu and duck hot pot, I stalled in the entryway, mesmerized by Hara’s kinetic sculpture on permanent display. Beads of water spun across a white lotus-like disc and disappeared into a small black hole described as a ho-sun, a Zen term referring to one’s mind.

In Yamashiro’s town center, I followed the trail of another artist, Kitaoji Rosanjin , a sought-after engraver and calligrapher who came to Yamashiro to study ceramics in 1915 (his pottery is now in collections around the world). I visited a cottage called Iroha Souan , where Rosanjin stayed and carved signboards for several nearby ryokan; guests of Araya Totoan can view his work, including a painting of a crow composed of loose brush strokes, in the ryokan’s lobby.

Next, I took a dip at Kosoyu , a bathhouse rebuilt to look as it did during Rosanjin’s time. Sunlight poured through stained glass onto Kutaniyaki tiles, Kaga’s style of brightly painted porcelain. (Kosoyu is for soaking only, so it’s best to arrive freshly bathed; there are showers at Yamashiro’s main public onsen across the street.)

Rosanjin was known as a gourmand as much as an artist — he became the creative force behind an exclusive restaurant , pairing ceramics and food — and he was said to have enjoyed the exceptional freshness and variety of ingredients in Kaga. These days, tourists and locals line up for unpretentious 2,000-yen lunch sets (they could easily cost five times as much in Tokyo) at Ippei Sushi . On a recent Friday, the chef, Yukio Nimaida, showed me three kinds of local prawns he’d sourced early that morning. The rice he uses, a bouncy sweet cultivar called Koshihikari, grows nearby in paddies fed by clean mountain water.

I asked Nimaida-san what he hopes visitors to Kaga will experience. “Hot springs and fish,” he said. “That’s all you need, isn’t it?”

Yamanaka: A pathway through woodlands and lacquerware

With Kiku no Yu public bathhouse at its heart, Yamanaka’s downtown stretches along one side of the Kakusenkei gorge. On the other side, a peaceful walking path meanders beside the icy aquamarine river; I walk there often, especially in spring, when wildflowers emerge from lush tufts of moss.

Yamanaka is also known for wooden tableware and teaware finished with lacquer made from the sap of urushi trees. The best of this lacquerware is not for sale in the souvenir shops along the main street but is on display in small museums and in service at tearooms, bars and ryokan.

One such place is Mugen-an , a house-turned-museum near the south end of the Kakusenkei walking path. Its shoin-style architecture — including paper doors decorated with gold and rare spalted persimmon-wood railings, naturally streaked with black — reflects the status of its original residents, a former high-ranking samurai family.

In early May, I brought friends from New York to Mugen-an to sip matcha — the same bright green as the new maple leaves outside — and admire displays of tea ceremony utensils decorated in maki-e, lacquer illustrations dusted with precious minerals.

A scenic hinoki-wood bridge, Korogi-bashi, leads back toward town. Up a steep stone-paved side street next to a shrine is Washu Bar Engawa (the bar I apprenticed at when I first came to Yamanaka), where sake and food are served in an exquisite collection of local lacquerware and antique pottery. Last time I stopped by, I drank from an elegant horse chestnut cup made by the craftsman Takehito Nakajima specifically to suit the local sake, Shishi no Sato . On any given night, there’s a good chance of running into a few craftsmen at the bar.

It’s not easy for tourists to access craftspeople’s studios, but at Urushi-za , a lacquerware showroom, visitors can make an appointment to tour the attached training institute — where students learn every step from forging their own tools to applying maki-e — and even try shaping a bowl by applying a sharp gouge to a fast-spinning piece of wood on Yamanaka’s unique style of lathe.

The most immersive experience of Yamanaka’s distinct culture is a stay at one of its high-end ryokan, like Kayotei , where the owner, Masanori Kamiguchi, has spent decades cultivating appreciation of local crafts and ecology among his guests. Across the street, the young proprietors of Hanamurasaki ryokan, Kohei and Manami Yamada, pursue a similar vision. And visitors don’t have to stay overnight to reserve afternoon tea in their sabo, a tearoom designed by the Tokyo-based restaurateur and designer Shinichiro Ogata to feature locally quarried stone and Japanese paper, along with teaware in shades of charcoal and porcelain.

“I believe that in order to pass down something traditional it has to fit into modern life,” Kohei-san told me. Manami-san added: “Ryokans have always been cultural salons.” This kind of hospitality encourages patronage of local crafts, and brings new people and ideas to small towns. Visitors who come on the extended Hokuriku Shinkansen can be part of that legacy, helping Yamanaka, Yamashiro and Katayamazu thrive.

The Best Thai Restaurants In Seattle

If you, like us, have watched loops of those adorable TikTok videos where babies discover ice cream for the first time, then you’ve already witnessed the joy we feel about Noodle Boat Thai. This Issaquah spot packs so much flavor into each dish that it feels like you're eating in high definition. The yellow curry fried rice tastes like every single grain has been steeped in spice, while pops of sweetness from the raisins and pineapples complement the nutty flavor. Their tom kha soup bursts with so much lemongrass and ginger you will literally have to pick pieces out—but the effort is rewarding. While there’s nothing much to the dining room except some plants and a few very cute elephant statues, Noodle Boat works for a quick lunch or a nice dinnertime respite after spending three hours at the nearby Costco.

GTA VI might not get delayed at all, likely to release next year

Rockstar games' gta vi is speculated to release in fall 2025. the game features a central female protagonist for the first time and may initially release for consoles, followed by a pc release..

Listen to Story

• GTA VI is rumoured to release in fall 2025
• Rockstar Games parent Take-Two Interactive said in its earnings report
• GTA VI might initially release for XBox and PlayStation

GTA VI is one of the most-awaited games of the year and rumours around its release have been doing rounds for quite some time. It was earlier reported that the game might launch in 2026, instead of the earlier-promised 2025. However, fresh reports are now saying that the game won't be delayed and will most likely released within the promised timeline. In its Q4 2024 earnings report, Rockstar Games parent Take-Two Interactive provided a more precise release window for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. The company said that the game would release in "fall 2025." Earlier, Rockstar had said that the game would arrive in 2025, without sharing any other details.

"As we enter Fiscal 2025 with positive momentum, we expect to deliver Net Bookings of $5.55 to $5.65 billion. Our outlook reflects a narrowing of Rockstar Games’ previously established window of Calendar 2025 to Fall of Calendar 2025 for Grand Theft Auto VI. We are highly confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience, and our expectations for the commercial impact of the title continue to increase," Take-Two said as per a report in The Verge.

This announcement comes alongside impressive sales figures for GTA V, which has sold an astounding 200 million copies. This achievement makes it the second bestselling game of all time, trailing only Minecraft by 100 million copies.

Circling back to GTA VI, XBox and PlayStation players might be able to play the game before PC players as it is expected to be out for consoles first, followed by a PC release. However, this is mere speculation at this point and nothing has been confirmed by Rockstar Games. So, if you are a PC player, don't give up just yet.

Several details about the game have leaked online in the past. For instance, the GTA VI map is expected to be the biggest ever in Rockstar Games' history, even surpassing the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2. A Reddit user had compiled a list of locations reportedly included in the game, suggesting that it will extend beyond Florida to encompass parts of Georgia as well. Apart from the map, Reddit users had also claimed that GTA VI might have the highest number of mini-games ever seen in the series. A brand-new fishing mini-game could also be introduced to the franchise.

Coming to what we do know, it was clear from the first trailer that the game will have a female protagonist, called Lucia, this time. This is the first time that a central female character is being included in the franchise and fans are quite excited over the same. There will also be another male character, name of which is rumoured to be Jason.
