We confirm availability and reply fast — usually within the hour during the day.

How booking works

Send an enquiry or message us on WhatsApp with your dates, the number of guests and the kind of boat you want. We check the boat against the live schedule before replying, so a confirmation from us means the boat is actually held rather than provisionally pencilled in. An advance reserves it; the balance is paid at check-in. The advance goes through a secure Razorpay link — we do not take card details over chat or email.

Rates on this site are per boat per night unless the page says otherwise, and exclude GST. Prices move with the season, so a rate quoted for a weekend in December will not match the same boat in July. Bring photo ID for every adult; it is checked at boarding, and for foreign nationals a passport is required rather than any other document.

Finding the boarding point

Most boats board at the Nehru Trophy Finishing Point, Punnamada, Alappuzha, Kerala; our Kumarakom boats board at Kumarakom instead. It is about ten minutes by road from Alappuzha town and the railway station, and roughly ninety minutes from Cochin International Airport by taxi. Arrive by 11:30 AM for a noon check-in — the jetty is busy at midday and finding your boat takes a few minutes. Call us when you set off and the crew will meet you at the gate.

When to reach us

WhatsApp is the fastest route and is answered through the day, usually within the hour. Phone works for anything complicated — group bookings, multiple boats, or a question about which boat suits an elderly parent or a toddler. Email suits detailed itineraries and formal quotes for corporate bookings, and is answered the same day.
