Boat to Goa
Is there still a passenger boat from Bombay to Goa? I last rode this rust bucket in 1980, but haven't seen any mention of it on the web recently.

the boat stopped sailing when the konkan railway from mumbai to madgaon (goa) was fully opened.
as far as i know it has not sailed since. for train times to madgaon go to the following site and click on 'trains between inportant stations' http://indianrail.gov.in/
