Candle Light Dinner in Guwahati, On Your Own Private Cruise

Not a corner table in a restaurant — a whole vessel with only the two of you aboard, sailing from sunset into the city lights.

Your evening

The river, reserved for two

You board S B Agam privately — no other guests, only the crew, and they know how to be invisible. The canopy deck is already set: candles lit, your table decorated for the occasion, the evening arranged around whichever hour you choose — golden hour, or dinner under the city lights.

Then the shore lets go. Sunset burns down over the Brahmaputra, dinner is served course by course, and Guwahati's lights come on across the water like a private show. You can bring your own photographer, your own cake, your own secret plan — we'll take care of everything else.

The Cruise

Year-round

The classic: your private vessel, the canopy deck dressed in candles and flowers, dinner on the move from sunset to city lights. Available every month of the year, in every season the river offers.

The Island

November – March · premium

The rarest table in Guwahati. You sail out to a private sandbar that exists only in winter, follow a lantern-lit path to a single tent on the sand, and dine with your own lit vessel as the backdrop. The river takes the island back every summer — which is exactly why an evening on it is unforgettable.

The season

The island rises from the river each winter — November to March. Enquire for the current season's dates.

Occasions

Evenings people plan for months

Proposals

The question deserves a stage. Tell us the plan and the crew keeps the secret — decor timed to the moment, the photographer hidden in plain sight, the ring arriving exactly when it should. We've done this before; nobody will give it away.

Anniversaries

A year worth marking gets a table no restaurant can offer — the one moving through the middle of the Brahmaputra at dusk, set just for the two of you.

Small celebrations

Up to 20 of your closest people fit aboard — intimate birthdays and family milestones sail beautifully. For the full-scale party, see our private charters.

What we take care of

The vessel, private and crewed. The decor — candles, flowers, the setup styled by our team to your occasion. Dinner, served on deck. The timing, chosen by you: the sunset slot or the dinner slot. Your own photographer and cake are always welcome, and if there's a surprise involved, it stays one.

Planned around you

No two of these evenings are the same, so we don't price them off a rate card — every candlelight dinner is customised to the occasion, the setting and the season. Call us or say hello on WhatsApp, and we'll plan it together. A week's notice is ideal; sometimes two days is enough.

Good to know

Candlelight questions

Where can I have a candlelight dinner in Guwahati?

On the Brahmaputra itself — aboard your own private vessel. S B Agam sails with only you, your guests and our crew: a decorated candlelit table, dinner served on the water, and the city lights as the backdrop. It's the one candlelight dinner in Guwahati that comes with a river.

Can we do the island dinner in June?

Honestly, no — the island is a winter gift. The sandbar rises from the river only from November to March, and disappears with the summer water. From April to October, the private cruise setting sails as beautifully as ever; the island tier reopens in November.

Can you arrange a proposal setup?

It would be far from our first. Tell us the plan and the crew keeps the secret — the decor, the timing, the moment. We've done this before, and nobody on board will give it away. Your own photographer is welcome, and a cake is easily arranged.

How many people can join?

S B Agam hosts up to 20 guests, so it's not strictly for couples — intimate anniversaries, small family celebrations and close-friends birthdays all fit. For bigger private parties, look at our full-vessel charters.

How far ahead should we book?

A week's notice is ideal — it gives us time to plan the decor and menu around your occasion. We can sometimes arrange an evening on two days' notice, so it's always worth asking.

What if the weather turns on an island evening?

We'll always be straight with you: because the island setup and your dinner are prepared in advance, island bookings aren't refundable for weather. There's a covered area on the sand, and the evening finds its way — rain on the river has its own romance.

Sharing the deck is fine too. The daily sunset cruise on the Brahmaputra gives you the same golden hour from ₹700 a seat.

Thinking bigger than dinner? The winter sandbar hosts whole celebrations — river island events for weddings, corporate nights and parties up to 350 guests.
