What Leon Fernandes said about Goa’s yacht sector
Leon Fernandes, director of yacht life Goa, said "We get a lot of pre-wedding shoots in the morning half that is something that is trending in a big way. The couple books the yacht for a minimum of two hours. They need the warm light in the morning, which is between 7am to 9am. After that, the light gets harsh”, TOI reported. [Representative image]

Additionally, a man pops the question once a week while his ecstatic fiancée stands at the bowsprit, her gown billowing in the breeze. This scenario, with the wind, the waves, and that sparkling ring, is right out of a romance book, TOI reported. [Representative image]
