Our story

Welcome aboard My Trip Boathouse

I'm Niyas Younus, and since 2013 I've had the joy of welcoming travellers to the backwaters of Alleppey. What began as a simple love for Kerala's waterways has grown into a trusted fleet of Deluxe, Premium and Luxury houseboats, each cared for by an experienced crew who know these canals like home.

Whether you're planning a romantic overnight stay, a family day cruise, a sharing houseboat on a budget, or an adventure by shikara, speed boat or kayak, our promise stays the same: warm Kerala hospitality, freshly cooked local cuisine, spotless comfort and honest prices. We don't just take you across the water. We help you slow down, reconnect and make memories that last.

The team behind the screen

Where Kerala hospitality meets digital care

Alf Abdhul Gaffoor leads the complete online side of My Trip Boathouse: the website and online bookings, search visibility, social media, content, reviews and WhatsApp enquiries. When a traveller anywhere in the world discovers, explores or books an Alleppey houseboat with us online, his team makes that journey smooth.

Today's travellers plan on a phone screen long before they step on deck. Our digital presence rests on six pillars, so whether guests find us on Google, see a reel on social media or message late at night, they get the same warmth and honesty they'll find on the backwaters.

  • Search & discovery

    Search-optimised pages and helpful travel guides, so travellers looking for the best Alleppey houseboat find clear, trustworthy answers first.

  • Seamless online booking

    A fast, mobile-friendly website with transparent packages and prices, so you can compare options and secure a boat in a few clicks.

  • Social storytelling

    Daily glimpses of life on the backwaters: sunrise cruises, village scenes and guest moments that keep our community connected.

  • Honest video & photos

    Walkthrough videos of every houseboat, so what you see online is exactly what you get on board. No surprises, only delight.

  • Reviews & reputation

    Every review is read and acted on. Genuine guest voices shape our service and help new travellers book with confidence.
