The River Rovers house boat
|
|
 |
Our river cruiser is flat bottomed and can float in just one foot of water, ideal for getting across those sand bars that keep other tour boats out of the most spectacular parts of Phang Nga Bay, Krabi and Koh Lanta.
The river boat has two shower systems, one in the head (bathroom) and one in the cockpit. The head is huge for a boat of this size, it has a proper household sit down porcelain toilet with a normal flush system, porcelain hand basin, mirrors and packing space.
We are looking for a peaceful ride (we are not a high speed boat), we want you to appreciate what there is to be seen. The scenery, the birds and flora, the wonderful sunsets and sunrises. |
The Cabin |
|
 |
Our cruiser named Pitta offers two double cabins with a stylish marriage of simplicity and sophistication. The queen size beds are swathed in colourful mosquito netting. There are two fans in each cabin, and two reading lights and an overhead light. Each cabin has huge front opening windows as wide as the bed, and sliding side windows. We couldn't get more ventilation into the boat even if we tried.
Throughout the boat are large packing areas, under the beds and seats, plenty of room for all your gear. |
The Galley
The galley (kitchen) is beautifully appointed and finished. It has a two plate gas burner stove and a huge ice box, a separate pump system for drinking water. The crockery and cutlery is of high quality. We have a large selection of drinking glasses (no plastic on this boat), pots pans and utensils in stainless steel. The galley also has overhead opening hatches as well as sliding side windows, so plenty of ventilation there. |

The Cockpit
 The cockpit is so large that a small party would rattle around in it. The beautiful cockpit table is a solid laminated dark wood. It can seat ten people around it if necessary. It also has a double use: it can be dropped down to form a double bed.
The cockpit can be enclosed in rain covers and mosquito netting to form a third cabin if required. Hammocks can be hung from under the sun canopy which covers the entire cockpit.
The boat comes with a quality sound system with 4 speakers, 2 inside and 2 in the cockpit. It can play cd's, dvd's and mp3's. So bring your favorite music with you.
 * A Pitta is a very beautiful rare bird found in the mangroves of Krabi.
