How to get discounts on Makruzz ferry tickets
Private Andaman ferries rarely run fixed discounts -- the cheapest way to travel Makruzz is to book smartly. What actually works:
- Book early:Makruzz releases seats on a dynamic inventory system. Economy and Premium classes often sell out 5–7 days before departure in peak season (October–May), so booking early locks in the lowest fare.
- Travel off-season: June to September crossings are noticeably cheaper -- Makruzz drops lead-in fares to fill seats through the monsoon shoulder.
- Pick mid-morning / afternoon sailings: The first morning departure usually carries a premium. Mid-morning and afternoon sailings on the same day are often ₹100–₹300 cheaper for the same class.
- Check live prices every day: The search bar above shows the cheapest live fare across all operators. Use it before booking -- Makruzz sometimes posts promotional fares that aren't advertised elsewhere.
- Group bookings: For groups of 8+ travellers, contact Go2Andaman customer support directly -- group discounts of up to 10% are occasionally extended on Royal / Business / Majesty class.
- Student & senior ID: Not applied automatically, but some Makruzz sailings accept student/senior IDs for a 5–10% discount at the jetty counter -- carry originals.
