The Mahindra Group forayed into boat manufacturing by launching its first model, the Mahindra Odyssea 22, at the 3rd Mumbai International Boat Show in Feb 2009. Mahindra is the first corporate to undertake such a venture in India.

It has been the Group’s dynamic vision to position Mahindra as an integral part of the entire transportation spectrum. After taking on the toughest terrains with its tractors, UVs, cars, two wheelers, three wheelers, getting on the waters is the natural extension. Moreover, India’s vast untapped coastline is just waiting to be explored and in need for a boat made for Indian boaters and for Indian waters. At present, boating is still perceived as an exclusive privilege for a select few entailing hassles of maintenance and management. Mahindra Odyssea aims to change that by introducing the boating lifestyle to all and ensuring a hassle free buying experience.

At present, there are two models being offered – the Mahindra Odyssea 22 and the Mahindra Odyssea 33. The Mahindra Odyssea 22 is a center console boat with a seating capacity for 7 persons and fitted with an outboard motor engine in the 90-150 HP range depending on the place of usage. This boat is ideal for short day trips or for use as a tender boat. The Mahindra Odyssea 33 is a much bigger luxurious bowrider boat with s seating capacity for 12 persons and with onboard amenities like marine toilet, bar, wash basin and a stylish and solid FRP targa. Both boats are CE ‘C’ certified.

The engines being offered are Evinrude E-TEC engines.

The twin cylinder design of the Evinrude E-TEC, the computerized system allows for 100% combustion which ensures maximum fuel efficiency and no emissions. Evinrude E-TEC outboards are the only outboard marine engines to have received a Clean Air Excellence Award from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. It also has a 3-Star certification from the California Air Resources Board.

The main activities are engine fitment, sea trials prior to hand over, anti fouling paint application, transportation, registration, any other local statutory requirements and good practices.

Mahindra Odyssea will be doing all the activities needed for you, so that you can have a good time.

The registration is with the maritime board of the state or in absence of that, the local municipality and nearest Port Authority or Pubic Works Department. For example, for usage in Mumbai, the apex registration body is the Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB). Post 26/11, registration is mandatory. The MMB registration holds valid for limits of the Maharashtra state.

Mahindra Odyssea will complete the registration formalities for you and hand over the boat. Alternatively, you can also
perform the process yourself.

The mooring location depends on the protection (natural or man-made) offered in the intended area of usage. For example, in Mumbai, the safest harbor is Gateway of India, Colaba, which is under the management of the Royal Bombay Yacht Club (RBYC). For best locations in each city, our dealers will help you with recommendations.

Parking charges are nominal in most states. Please check with the nearest Port Authority or local authorities.

There are many factors involved in the upkeep and maintenance of your boat to ensure it has a long life. It is a tedious process which requires scheduled maintenance including, but not limited to, daily cleaning, cleaning fuel and water tanks, garbage disposal, waxing of hull, underwater cleaning of barnacles, topping of fuel and oil whenever the boat is to be made ready for use. And above all, manning the boat for security. Recognizing this, Mahindra Odyssea has put together service and maintenance packages customized for your needs.

This would depend on the nature of arrangement (i.e. whether you have your own place for wet and dry storage which would entail investment in a custom-made trailer or you would like Mahindra Odyssea to maintain your boat). Mahindra Odyssea has a variety of servicing packages from which you can choose the arrangement that suits you best or to help you make up your mind, feel free to get in touch with any member from Team Odyssea!
