Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of weather conditions will we likely encounter?
A: Weather along the coast in the fall can be very variable. One should expect the variety of weather that creates the many moods for which this area is noted. Past experience tells us that September can be a very wet month. Be prepared for rain and overcast skies and for cooler temperatures. Later in the month we start to see the first frosts. This said, the sun does shine in the fall and classic Indian summers are not rare.

Q: How big are the groups?
A: The maximum group size aboard the Ocean Light II is 9 guests plus the crew.

Q: I am single traveler. Do most people come with a partner or friend?
A: The average group consists of two couples, a couple of friends and single travelers with usually an even ratio of male to female. Because of the limited berth capacity aboard the vessel, single cabins are not available but instead you will be sharing one with another single traveler of the same gender. A berth will be assigned to you upon your arrival on the boat.
