Standard Penta Non AC — Private Houseboat

The Standard Penta Non AC is a private 5-bedroom houseboat in Alleppey (Alappuzha), Kerala. It costs ₹22,500 per night (ex-GST), sleeps 10 in beds, is non-AC (fan-cooled), and boards at the Nehru Trophy Finishing Point, Punnamada. All meals are included.

Who is this houseboat best for?

Takes ten. Large enough that the dining table rather than the bedrooms becomes the centre of the trip.

How much does the Standard Penta Non AC cost?

It is the cheapest 5 bedroom boat we run. Above it, the Standard Non AC Penta Upper Deck is ₹25,000, ₹2,500 more again.

Across 10 guests at two per bedroom that is ₹2,250 each, including all meals and the night aboard — the whole boat, not a cabin, and the same price whether 10 of you travel or fewer.

5 Bedroom boats in our fleet run from ₹22,500 to ₹42,500. See them all on the 5-bedroom page.

Is a non-AC houseboat comfortable?

It depends on the month. This is a naturally ventilated boat with ceiling fans, which is the Standard tier. Pleasant through the monsoon and the cool December–January window, and hard work from February to May when the afternoons are hot. If you are travelling in those months, an air-conditioned boat is worth the difference.

What happens on the overnight cruise?

Check in at 12:00 PM, check out at 9:00 AM — a 21-hour stay rather than 24, so arriving at 11:30 rather than 2:00 PM materially changes how much of it you get. Cruising stops between 5:00 PM and 7:00 AM by Kerala rule: the boat moors for the night with the crew aboard, and the evening at anchor is the part most guests rate highest. All meals are included, cooked aboard that day.

Good to know before you book
