Houseboats
A kettuvallam of your own.
Overnight and multi-night journeys on a private houseboat, with a crew who cook, steer and quietly take care of everything.
The boat
Built the old way, fitted for rest.
Our boats are woven from bamboo and coir over a jackwood hull, the way kettuvallams have been made for centuries. Inside, air-conditioned cabins and an open front deck.
There is no fixed route. The captain reads the weather and the water, and you decide when to stop.

Questions, answered.
Is the boat really private?
Yes. Your party has the whole boat and crew for the length of your stay.
Can we eat vegetarian or vegan?
Of course. Tell us when you enquire and the cook will plan around it.
Is it suitable for children and elders?
Yes. Decks are railed and the water is calm; boarding is by a wide, gentle ramp.
What if it rains?
Monsoon cruising is beautiful and the boats are fully covered. We simply adjust timings.
