Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Ideal for couples and small families This 10.2-metre houseboat is perfect if you're after a relaxed inland waterway experience rather than coastal sailing, think gentle cruising along French canals and rivers with minimal nautical experience needed. It sleeps up to five, making it great for two couples or a family of four looking for something more intimate than a larger vessel.
Practical comfort features The bow thruster and heating are genuine pluses for maneuvering in tight canal locks and staying cosy during shoulder seasons. You'll have solid basics covered: refrigeration, electric toilet, and a bimini for sun protection, so daily living is straightforward and hassle-free.
Budget-conscious choice At this price point with a €3,500 deposit, you're getting reasonable value for a self-skippered inland rental. However, the 2005 build means this is an older boat, still serviceable, but worth confirming exact condition and maintenance records with Riverly before booking.
One heads-up to note Inland houseboat charters require a different mindset than seagoing yachts: speeds are slow (typically 5, 8 knots), the scenery is pastoral rather than dramatic, and you'll be docking in towns rather than anchoring in bays. It's wonderful if that appeals to you; less so if you're hoping for open-water sailing or dramatic coastlines.

Marina Fürstenberg sits on the Havel River in Brandenburg, offering straightforward access to Germany's inland waterway network. Week one typically involves cruising through the Mecklenburg Lakes system or exploring the Havel's lock-based passages towards Berlin, with relatively gentle conditions suitable for skippers new to German waters. The marina works best for clients seeking a relaxed inland charter focused on small towns, cultural stops, and manageable daily distances rather than coastal sailing.
