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.
