— Frequently Asked Questions —
Q: Does this experience provide overnight accommodation? A: Please note that the houseboat is not a hotel. It cannot be used for residential purposes. You are welcome to use this houseboat for gatherings, parties, feasts, or similar events. The maximum capacity of the boat is 14 guests, so please ensure these details suit your party’s needs.
Q: What will I experience on the houseboat? A: The houseboat is located outside. The experience might be like glamping. You will feel local and relaxed. You might be able to hear and smell of ships and seawater. This is the local culture of the traditional fishing village of Hong Kong. The houseboat is quiet most of the time.
Q: Do I need to confirm the number of guests when booking? A: If you anticipate a large group, we recommend you make your booking for 5 guests first, and then notify us of the final total of guests and pay the difference. (You must notify us at least 2 days before your departure date.)
Q: Can I invite friends on board for a few hours? A: The number of guests booked refers to the total number of people boarding during the rental period. Even though a guest may only board the boat for a short period, we do consider them as guests for the whole cruise. If we discover an unauthorized boarding, an additional guest fee of HK$1,000 per person will be charged.
Q: Can I bring pets? A: No pets are allowed on board.
Q: Can I walk onto the houseboat from the shore? A: Boarding the houseboat from the shore is not allowed. Guests must take a sampan to and from the houseboat.
Q: Can the houseboat be rented for a few hours only? Can we leave the houseboat before the scheduled off-boarding time? A: Our houseboat rental is 20 hours per session. You can board the boat from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm and disembark before 11:00 am the next day. During the rental period, you can freely get on and off the houseboat. Just call the sampan service staff to arrange.
Q: What is the service time of the sampan and how much does it cost per trip? A: Since the sampan service is not part of the houseboat service, the assistance of the sampan service staff is required to board and disembark the houseboat. This service is generally offered from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, and the cost per way is HK$10–20. During this period, you only need to call the sampan service staff to arrange a pick-up. After 7:00 pm, the sampan only provides limited services. If there is no sampan, we will arrange a special connection, but additional fees will be charged.
Q: Will there be enough water and electricity? A: 24 hours of water and electricity are available onboard. Water can be drunk after boiling. Please turn off electric appliances after using them and turn off all lights and air-conditioning before leaving the houseboat to save the environment and ensure a comfortable passage. Please note that water pressure and electricity voltage might be different from the land. If water is consumed simultaneously from multiple sources, the lowered water pressure will affect the water yield.
Q: Is there Wi-Fi connection? A: Yes, there is a Wi-Fi connection on the houseboat, but please understand that the network may not be as stable as at home as 4G SIM cards are used.
Q: Is there a bathroom onboard? A: Yes, there are 2 fully equipped hot water bathrooms onboard (one with a bathtub). Waste bin is provided onboard. Please do not place toilet paper or trash into the toilet to prevent clogging.
Q: Is there air conditioning onboard? A: Yes, the houseboat is equipped with air conditioning. You can stay comfortably even during the Summer.
Q: How stable will the ride be? A: The houseboat is equipped with a wave-reducing design. When other ships pass by, there will still be some degrees of waves, you might feel a slight sway from time to time. This is part of the experience on board. Usually, it does not cause inconvenience.
Q: Where will the houseboat primarily cruise through? A: The houseboat moors in Aberdeen Fishing Port on the south of Hong Kong Island, near Aberdeen Centre, Ap Lei Chau (Lee Tung MTR Station), with a 360-degree view of the fishing port.
Q: How is the security facilities on the boat? A: There is CCTV installed near the entrance of the houseboat. Both the front and back doors can be locked. There will be contact numbers provided after you are onboard. You can dial the number if needed.
Reviews
it was an amazing experience! great for a girls trip :)
The overall feeling is good and the environment is comfortable, the place is clean and tidy. At the end of October, I don’t wash and open the air-conditioning system. The lobby is ok. The training room is not air-conditioned at night, and it’s so hot.
Excellent service! The boat is super clean and looks exactly like the photos shown. Love my experience and highly recommended!
The facilities on the Japanese-style boat are a bit old. You need to remove your shoes when you enter the boat, but you don’t have to provide slippers every day to clean the guitar. Others decorated with dust-sealed beds should not be too hard for people on land. 20 hours are recommended to eat on board. Ding Hailan Pill is called a yacht, and it is not convenient to get in and out one night by yourself. It is more than deposit $1500 24 hours paid back. It is enough for people in the world to try once.
Very nice boat, thought the sound at night is a bit scary
The same class of friends was the first to board the boat and return. The boatman is very attentive and picks up from the pier. Zhong went on board with us to explain how to use all the equipment, and the same places need to be paid attention to. Next time I will play on the boat again.
