 About Paddle or Rocket Steamer Service 

The Famous Paddle Rocket Steamer has been traveling in the Bengal Ganges delta from 2oth Century. It was introduced by the British during the colonial period to faster water transportation and that’s why it was called rocket steamer.  Only six paddle steamers are left globally, and four boats are still traveling in Bangladeshi rivers under the government water transport authority.  It is an experience to travel by paddle boat to enjoy the heritage and culture with antiquity. Having 05 – 08 first-class cabins with air-conditioned shared toilets and 10 -15 second class cabins with open decks considered as 3^rd class is overwhelming for tourist who never had experienced it. Sitting in the front veranda with a cup of tea will give you a royal feeling. In a normal schedule, every day except Friday, the boat departs from Dhaka 18:00 hrs via crossing Chandpur 22:00 hrs – Barisal 05:00 Hrs – Pirojpur – Hularhat 10:30 Hrs– Moralgonj 12:30 Hrs. it is around 16 – 18 hours of crossing from Dhaka all the way to Bagerhat District. Especially in the early evening while departing from Dhaka and from the early morning to 12:00 pm approx time is the best to experience the journey traveling through numerous river creeks canals with splendid landscapes.

It is considered one of the highlights of Bangladesh. But as it getting older, due to the maintenance it’s not regular thought the year.  Recently government also built two new launches but the heritage experience is missing. The current roster for the rocket to travel is as follows but you are requested to check with our company first:
