Perfect for families. This 10.2m houseboat sleeps up to five people across two cabins, making it ideal for multi-generational groups or families wanting a relaxed inland waterway holiday without the saltwater sailing skills required.
Practical inland vessel. The bow thruster and bimini top are genuinely useful for river navigation and sun protection, while heating and a proper electric toilet mean year-round comfort, rare on budget houseboats of this age and size.
Solid value proposition. At €2,675 per week with only a €3,500 deposit, you're getting reasonable rates for a family-sized boat on Europe's canal networks, where operating costs are lower than coastal charter bases.
Age worth noting. Built in 2005, she's nearly 20 years old, so expect some wear and check the engine and systems carefully during handover, the spec sheet doesn't reveal much about recent refits, which matters on a houseboat that spends her life in freshwater.

The marina & destination
Based at Chioggia, in Chioggia, Italy. Pénichette Premium 4/5 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Chioggia sits at the southern edge of the Venetian Lagoon and offers immediate access to shallow-water cruising through the lagoon itself or southward to the Adriatic coast around Pellestrina and Sottomarina. From here, week 1 typically takes you either north into the labyrinth of lagoon channels toward Venice, or south along the Po Delta towards Ravenna, depending on your boat's draft and your preference for protected waters or open Adriatic sailing. The lagoon provides excellent shelter and minimal tidal range, making it ideal for sailors new to Italian waters or those wanting to explore Venice's waterways from a quieter base.
