The Fast Way Back from the Statue
This is a quick, one-way high-speed ferry crossing from the Statue of Unity (SOU) back to Shreshtha Bharat Bhavan (SBB). 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 to close out their visit to the statue.
- Boards from the SoU campus at Gate No. 8
- Up to 30 passengers per trip
- Need to get to SOU first? See the SBB → SOU outbound crossing, a separate schedule departing from the Ekta Cruise Jetty
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 back from the SoU campus to SBB — 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 return leg of a day trip, with the SBB → SOU service available separately for the outbound journey
