Shikra is a very upmarket houseboat which was actually christened after a bird of prey; the Goshawk. The boat can accommodate 20 guests, all in en-suite cabins that are fully air conditioned. The 10 cabins are laid out in twin cabin format. The boat has a generously proportioned lounge and dining area, offering panoramic views of the landscape beyond, coupled with stylish interiors. The large lounge, dining room and bar are also fully air-conditioned with wide windows.

The crew have their own cabins and ablutions.
