Alleppey Houseboat for Corporate Team Offsites & Group Retreats

A private houseboat is an unusual, memorable setting for a corporate offsite or team retreat — relaxed, scenic, and a world away from a hotel conference room. Here's how to plan it for a group.

Why a Houseboat Works for Teams

• A shared, informal space that encourages real conversation
• All meals cooked onboard — no logistics to manage
• Deck space for relaxed discussions, with scenery that resets the mind
• A genuinely different experience the team will remember

Sizing the Booking

Each boat holds a limited group, so plan by headcount:

• Small team (up to ~9): a single 3 bedroom houseboat.
• Larger teams: book multiple boats cruising together on the same route — ask us to arrange it so the group stays connected.

See how to choose in our groups guide and current rates on the prices page.

What to Confirm in Advance

• Exact occupancy limits per boat (don't exceed them)
• Meal preferences, including veg/Jain and any allergies
• Boarding point and timing for the whole group
• Whether you want boats cruising together for a larger team

Good to Know

Boats anchor by 5 PM and don't cruise at night (Kerala Tourism rules), so the evening is a relaxed anchored gathering. For a shorter team outing, a day cruise also works well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a company book a houseboat for a team offsite?

How large a group can go?

A single boat holds up to about 9 guests. For bigger teams, we can arrange several boats on the same route.
