The inaugural voyage carried roughly 390 passengers and 21 cars on a fully-booked sailing. After the March pilot phase (16 scheduled sailings) and the April full-operations ramp-up, services ran through the pre-monsoon window. Monsoon operations (June\u2013July) were intermittent \u2014 M2M Princess ran only on calmer days as per Maharashtra Maritime Board advisories. Services have been resuming through August\u2013September 2026 and now operate on a stable schedule for the October 2026 to May 2027 season. Always verify the day&#8217;s sailing status on m2mferries.com before travel; weather-day cancellations continue to be a possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">In this Blog<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/mumbai-to-sindhudurg-roro-ferry-route-timings-fares\/#How_the_Mumbai%E2%80%93Vijaydurg_Ro-Ro_Service_Launched_March%E2%80%93April_2026_Pilot\" >How the Mumbai\u2013Vijaydurg Ro-Ro Service Launched (March\u2013April 2026 Pilot)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/mumbai-to-sindhudurg-roro-ferry-route-timings-fares\/#What_is_the_Mumbai_to_Vijaydurg_Ferry_Service\" >What is the Mumbai to Vijaydurg Ferry Service?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/mumbai-to-sindhudurg-roro-ferry-route-timings-fares\/#Mumbai_to_Vijaydurg_Ferry_Route\" >Mumbai to Vijaydurg Ferry Route<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/mumbai-to-sindhudurg-roro-ferry-route-timings-fares\/#Mumbai_to_Sindhudurg_Ferry_Timings\" >Mumbai to Sindhudurg Ferry Timings<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/mumbai-to-sindhudurg-roro-ferry-route-timings-fares\/#Complete_Fare_Structure_Passengers_Vehicles\" >Complete Fare Structure: Passengers &amp;

The service launched on 1 March 2026 and completed its pilot phase in March, transitioning to full operations in April 2026. After reduced monsoon-season operations (June\u2013July), services have resumed stable sailings through August\u2013September 2026 and are now running on the October 2026 to May 2027 season schedule.

The Mumbai\u2013Jaigad intermediate run is 3 to 4 hours. Earlier guides that mentioned &#8220;4 hours&#8221; were referring to the Jaigad leg only, not the full Vijaydurg journey.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757330900526\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How early should I reach Bhaucha Dhakka for departure?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Arrive at least 1 hour before departure for vehicle loading and passenger check-in procedures.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757330931042\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Are pets allowed on the Mumbai to Sindhudurg ferry?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, designated pet areas are available based on the Mumbai-Alibaug ferry model.

The M2M Princess carries approximately 40 four-wheelers per sailing. The one-way fare for a car is \u20b96,000, which includes the driver&#8217;s economy-class passenger ticket. Additional passengers in the same car pay separately. Book early for long weekends \u2014 vehicle slots sell out faster than passenger seats.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772689219529\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you take your car on the RoRo ferry?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. The RoPax ferry Mumbai to Vijaydurg allows passengers to bring cars, bikes, and other vehicles onboard.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772689236302\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Where does the ferry depart from in Mumbai?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Bhaucha Dhakka (Ferry Wharf), also called Mumbai Port, is in the Mazgaon area of South Mumbai. The jetty is roughly 20\u201330 minutes by taxi from Dadar, 10 minutes from Byculla, and 40 minutes from Bandra depending on traffic. Allow extra buffer time on weekday mornings.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1791192420122\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is the ferry running during the monsoon?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Partially. June and July see most sailings suspended due to Arabian Sea conditions; services run only on calmer days. August to mid-September is a transitional window with intermittent operations. Full stable services resume from mid-September onwards and run through to the end of May.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200b\u200bThe success of this Mumbai to Vijaydurg ferry service signals a broader transformation in Maharashtra&#8217;s coastal transport infrastructure. This initiative represents more than just a new route\u2014it&#8217;s a return to the state&#8217;s maritime heritage and a sustainable solution to growing highway congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mumbai to Sindhudurg Ro-Ro service isn\u2019t just another travel option\u2014it\u2019s a paradigm shift. By slashing travel time, letting you carry your car, and offering a breezy sea experience, the M2M Princess is rewriting how Mumbaikars reach Konkan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it\u2019s premium, but it\u2019s also practical for festive commuters, weekend tourists, and families who value time and comfort. Add in scenic views of the Arabian Sea, and suddenly, the journey itself becomes a highlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the next time you think \u201cMumbai to Konkan,\u201d think beyond the highway.
