From ultra-luxury boats with private jacuzzis and onboard spas to spacious 6-bedroom cruisers for big groups — here are the premium Alleppey houseboats we actually book, with real photos, features and rates. Including the one we run ourselves.
Every boat below is one we genuinely book — with real photos of the actual boat, not a "this or similar" quote. You see it here, and that's the boat you board. Here's how booking works.

Tell us your dates, group size and budget — we'll shortlist the right boats, send real photos of each, and quote honest rates. No pressure, and no "or similar" surprises.
It depends on your group and budget. For couples wanting ultra-luxury, Lexica 2 (private spa and two jacuzzis) is exceptional; for big groups, the 6-bedroom Royal Palace or Exotica; for a well-run mid-luxury option we suggest our own boat, Grand Nirvana. Tell us your dates and we'll match you.
Premium and luxury boats run roughly ₹38,000–85,000 per night depending on size, category and season — for example Island of Peace from ₹38,000 off-season, the ultra-luxury Emperor 5 up to ₹85,000 in season. Our own 3-bedroom boat starts around ₹18,000–20,000 off-season.
AC in the bedrooms is standard (usually 9pm–6am when the boat moors). Several boats here go further — Lexica 2 and Kailasam 1 have private jacuzzis, and Lexica has an onboard spa. Just tell us what you're after.
Ask for real photos of the exact boat and get it confirmed in writing — the "or similar boat" swap is common with luxury bookings. Every boat on this page is one we actually deliver, with the real boat's photos shown.
Yes, most can — a day cruise is roughly 11am–5pm. It's cheaper than an overnight but you miss the sunset and sunrise. See our day-cruise guide for prices and timings.
