SRFDCL invites expressions of interest for docking personal boats and sailing on Sabarmati River

Sabarmati: Amdavadis may soon be able to dock their personal boats and enjoy sailing activities on the Sabarmati River as the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Ltd (SRFDCL) has released an invitation for individuals to express their interest in the operation of private/personal boats/yachts in the Sabarmati.

Under this initiative, SRFDCL will construct a jetty to accommodate private boats and permit owners to navigate their vessels along the Sabarmati, subject to a fee. However, it is important to note that the owners will not be allowed to rent out their boats, as they must be exclusively used for personal purposes.

To gauge interest, the authority is requesting interested individuals to submit their proposals, including the rental amount they are willing to pay. Based on these applications, SRFDCL will determine the appropriate rental charges.

In the invitation for EOI, SRFDCL states, “The SRFDCL does not envisage water level to hold throughout the year. In case of
flood situation, the owner has to take out their Boats/Yacht at an appropriate location of theirs and at their own cost to avoid any damage or loss due to flood.”

“In case the Boats/Yachts has to be removed due to any maintenance/repair of bridge(s), lower promenade by any authority due to over flooding, planned release of excess water or due to any reason whatsoever, in such case the Boat/Yacht owner shall not claim dues from SRFDCL for the loss, whatsoever,”the statement further said.

The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is June 27. DeshGujarat
