Canopus Marine: Water Sports & Cruises in Andaman Islands

Imagine stepping aboard a vessel where the line between the vibrant surface world and the mesmerizing marine depths of the Andaman Sea blurs into one seamless, luxurious experience. This is the promise delivered daily by Canopus Marine, the premier cruise and watersports operator based in Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair), Andaman and Nicobar Islands. From the bustling Biggie Line in the heart of the capital, we orchestrate unforgettable maritime journeys that combine on-deck celebration with unique underwater viewing, inviting guests to not just see the sea, but to truly feel its rhythm.

Our fleet isn't simply a mode of transport; it's a moving venue for celebration, exploration, and relaxation. We are the proud home of the famed Semi Submarine, a one-of-a-kind vessel designed to offer panoramic windows into the coral kingdoms surrounding Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) without ever getting wet. Whether it's a leisurely lunch, a romantic sunset, or a starlit dinner, every cruise is a carefully curated affair, blending world-class hospitality with the raw, untouched beauty of the islands. Led by a women-driven management team and celebrated as an LGBTQ+-friendly space, we foster an inclusive, high-energy atmosphere that has earned us a sparkling 4.8-star rating from nearly 700 reviewers and the trust of over 5,000 happy customers from across India, Vietnam, Dubai, and beyond.

Our Signature Cruise Experiences

The heart of our offering lies in the three distinct Semi Submarine cruises departing from Havelock Island, each timed perfectly to capture a different mood of the Andaman Sea. Every voyage includes a fascinating stopover where guests can disembark to explore a pristine beach, making the journey as immersive as the destination. With instant booking confirmations, flexible last-minute reservations, and free cancellation up to 24 hours beforehand, planning your adventure is effortless.

Semi-Submarine Dinner Cruise

As the sun sinks below the horizon, our evening cruise transforms into a floating celebration of music, dance, and fine dining. Running from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM, this is our most acclaimed experience, consistently praised for its lively atmosphere and attentive crew. Guests are treated to a sumptuous dinner while a live DJ curates the perfect soundtrack against panoramic ocean views. The two-hour beach stop adds a touch of moonlit magic, creating the perfect setting to honor special moments—many guests, like Badrinath M R, have chosen this cruise to celebrate wedding anniversaries and birthdays in unforgettable style. Priced from ₹3,500 per person, it is more than a meal; it's a memory etched in starlight and sea breeze.

Semi-Submarine Lunch Cruise

For those who want to soak in the midday brilliance of the Andamans, our Lunch Cruise is the ideal choice. Operating from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM, this cruise highlights the dazzling turquoise hues of the archipelago under full sunlight. Through the underwater viewing windows, the coral formations and marine life are brilliantly illuminated, offering a natural spectacle. A delicious lunch is served on board as we glide across the gentle waves. The mid-cruise beach stopover lets you feel the soft white sand under your feet before returning to port. At ₹3,500 per person, it's a crowd-pleasing introduction to the island's aquatic splendor.

Semi-Submarine Sunset Cruise

There is a reason sunsets over the Andaman Sea are legendary, and our Sunset Cruise captures every golden moment. Also scheduled from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM, this cruise is perfectly timed to witness the sky's transformation into a canvas of fiery oranges, pinks, and purples. The glass viewing areas take on a different character as the underwater world softens into the day's last light. At ₹2,500 per person, this is a more accessible, yet equally breathtaking, option that fills the senses with color and calm. It's a sight not soon forgotten, viewed from our one-of-a-kind semi-submersible platform.
