The Fast Way Out to the Statue
This is a quick, one-way high-speed ferry crossing from Shreshtha Bharat Bhavan (SBB) to the Statue of Unity (SOU). Unlike the slower Ekta Cruise, it isn't built as a sightseeing ride — it's a fast, functional transfer for anyone who wants to skip the road route between the two points, or simply wants a quick water crossing as part of their day out to the statue.
- Boards from the Ekta Cruise Jetty, tucked just behind SBB near Amul Foodland
- Up to 30 passengers per trip
- Need to get back afterward? See the SOU → SBB return crossing, a separate schedule departing from the SoU campus
Per the operator's terms: bags aren't allowed on board and each ticket is compulsorily one seat for one person. Check in 15 minutes before your slot — if you miss the check-in window, the operator treats the slot as forfeited and isn't able to reissue it.
Why It's Worth Booking — Once It's Back
Why it's worth the wait
- The quickest water link from SBB out to the SoU campus — useful if road traffic between the two is slow
- A fun, short add-on for anyone who wants time on the water without committing to a full sightseeing cruise
- Works well as the outbound leg of a day trip, with the SOU → SBB service available separately for the return
