WHY PRIVATE?
Sometimes the best part of a journey is knowing everyone aboard.
A private charter can make sense when you want the houseboat experience centred around your own family, friends or small group.
There is more room for shared time, conversation, meals and a sense that Whispering Winds is temporarily your own space on the river.
Shared Time
Meals, deck time and the journey remain centred around your group.
Flexible Duration
Discuss 1 night, 2 nights or a longer journey subject to operational possibilities.

A private journey can work especially well for…
- Families travelling together
- Friends
- Small private groups
- Couples travelling with another couple or family

- Guests considering a meaningful shared occasion
