04 · AC houseboat tips

Ask before you pay

Four questions about AC are worth asking before you book an AC houseboat.

  1. Which rooms? Bedroom only, or living and dining too?
  2. Which hours? When does the AC run?
  3. Day cruise AC? Is it available, and at what cost?
  4. Full-time upgrade? Included, or extra on this boat?
On-board tips
  • Close doors and windows of the AC room.
  • Bring a light layer for cool AC rooms.
  • Spend the evening on the open deck for the breeze and sunset.
