SailChecker Expert View
Ideal for river families This is a practical choice for small groups or families wanting a relaxed inland waterway experience rather than coastal sailing. The 2-cabin layout sleeps five comfortably, and a 10-metre houseboat is manageable for novice skippers navigating rivers and canals.
Sensible basics onboard You get the essentials, heating for cooler months, a bow thruster for tight locks and moorings, and modern conveniences like electric toilet and refrigerator. The Bimini top keeps sun and rain at bay during your cruise, though this is straightforward equipment rather than luxury.
Budget-conscious charter At €3,500 deposit, this represents decent value for a multi-cabin houseboat, especially if you're splitting costs across a group. Daily rates aren't listed here, but Pénichette vessels typically offer honest midrange pricing for European inland cruising.
Age worth noting Built in 2001, this boat is over 20 years old, perfectly serviceable for river cruising, but you should expect some wear and may find fewer modern conveniences than newer charter stock. Before booking, confirm the detailed condition report and what maintenance has been done recently, particularly to engines and systems like heating.

The marina & destination
Based at Joigny, in Joigny, France. Pénichette Premium 4/5 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Joigny sits on the Yonne River in Burgundy, offering access to the quieter inland waterway network south towards Auxerre and the Nivernais Canal. From here, week 1 charters typically explore the locks and rural countryside of the Burgundy Canal system, with easy day-hops between small towns and wine villages. This is a low-speed, low-wind cruising ground best suited to clients seeking leisurely inland navigation rather than sailing; expect 4-5 knot cruising speeds and lock transits as the rhythm of your holiday.
