GAILUX Tours introduces its yacht sunset cruise in the Demerara River

AN unforgettable experience can be had via Gailux Tours (Come Sea Guyana with Us), which has introduced its three luxury-line boats, including a yacht, for its sunset cruise in the Demerara River, starting on August 1, 2025.

Khishan Singh wanted both locals and visitors to have the ‘yacht experience’. As such, he launched his version of Gailux Tours on the Demerara River, featuring three high-end luxury boats for its three-hour sunset cruise, complete with full complements of cocktails and food, at a very reasonable cost for the different packages offered.

He introduced their fleet of three boats, which include the yacht—a 54-foot Azimut with a flybridge, built in Italy—along with two others: a Yamaha 25-foot Day Boat and an Aqua Cruiser Day Boat.

Singh said their fleet of boats will be expanded within months. They will be accepting bookings from August 1, 2025, and will offer packages to suit everyone, including couples, families, groups, and events.

The idea was conceptualised when he travelled abroad and had the yacht experience. He wanted to replicate it in Guyana to offer a new perspective with their marina at Nismes, West Bank Demerara. It takes just 15 minutes to begin the time of your life on the three-hour sunset cruise along the Demerara River.

He reported that the sunset cruise is ideal for birdwatching, blackwater swimming, and sightseeing. It begins in Nismes, passes the new Demerara Harbour Bridge, and extends all the way to the seawall area, showcasing the Port of Guyana and its infrastructural developments.

Singh added that Gailux Tours offers packages starting at US$335 per person for a maximum of 15 persons, which include welcome drinks, cocktails, and food. The other package is US$235 each, and the last is US$150 per person — all with the same offering of cocktails and food.

He stated that they offer tailor-made packages for customers, as the sunset cruise isn’t restricted to groups only. Additionally, they do not conduct tours if it is raining, given that it is a sunset cruise along the Demerara River.

Singh noted that he is from GAICO Construction, which is a subsidiary of Gailux Tours. GAICO Construction and General Services Inc. is a civil works company specialising in road construction, deep foundations, wharves, bridges, and dredging.

It is a Guyanese-owned and operated local company that employs dozens of people, allowing them to earn a stable income.

He related that they are not just promoting tourism, but also showcasing Guyana’s beauty — in aquaculture, ports, trade in goods and services, and the oil and gas sector, via their Demerara River tours.

Singh revealed that they had a soft launch recently, and persons have expressed their satisfaction and endorsed Gailux Tours for introducing the yacht service to Guyana.

Its official launch will take place on August 1, 2025, when the service will begin operations.

“Whether you’re looking for adventure or a relaxing day out, or a blend. We’ve got you covered! Gailux Tours will be accepting bookings from August 1, 2025. Explore nature from a new vantage point, in class, with luxury and comfort. Come sea Guyana with us,” Singh said.

State-of-the-art Marina and Conference Centre at Nismes

GAICO is currently constructing a state-of-the-art new Marina and Conference Centre at Nismes, West Bank Demerara, which is scheduled for completion in December this year.

Situated on the Demerara River, with breathtaking views of the skyline and the new Demerara River Bridge, this stunning structure is poised to usher in a new era of luxury and advancement for boating life in Guyana—and beyond.

It is part of GAICO’s ongoing commitment to engaging with as many sectors of Guyana as possible, proudly contributing to our nation’s dynamic growth.

The three-storey marina is set to open up exciting new opportunities, with its one-of-a-kind location right on the water, introducing a bold new frontier for event spaces and tourism in Guyana.

The marina will also support the Gailux Tours subsidiary in delivering premium cruise and tour experiences with a fleet of vessels that showcase the best of Guyana’s waterways in luxury and style. The future is being built on the water. And it begins here.

GAICO also acquired the former Guyana Defence Force (GDF) vessel MV Essequibo, which will be converted into a dine-in floating restaurant — a project scheduled for completion in 2025.

In addition, a plot of land is being developed at Timehri, East Bank Demerara, specifically to accommodate All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) riding, fully equipped with cabins for that unhindered outdoor experience, and jet skis at the waterfront property.

Additionally, Guyana Fertiliser (GuySerc), under GAICO, is being established in Guyana in partnership with the Dominican Republic to import low-cost fertiliser for the local market, thereby contributing to the agricultural sector.
