The CHERRY is a modern yacht styled Ferry, conceived for tourists near the coastal areas of India, mainly near the city of Mumbai popularly known as Bollywood.
In India yachts are not a common sight being unaffordable, however ferries serve the purpose of giving joyride to tourists.
India being a land of mix cultures and religion, the ferry design is also a hybrid between a seagull and a Flying fish, found near the coastal areas of India. The lower body has been inspired from the belly of the seagull and upper body forming a suspension styled guardrail depicting the wings of the flying fish.
