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.
Perfect for couples and small families This 10.2-metre houseboat is ideal if you're looking for a relaxed inland waterway experience rather than coastal sailing, think gentle rivers and canals rather than open sea. It sleeps up to five, making it a solid choice for two couples or a family with young children.
Solid comfort features The Pénichette comes well-equipped for European waterway cruising: heating keeps you cosy in shoulder seasons, a bow thruster makes tight canal locks manageable, and the electric toilet means you're not reliant on pump-out facilities. Refrigeration and a Bimini top for sun protection round out the essentials for this style of boating.
Good value proposition At a €3,500 deposit with Riverly's rental model, this represents fair pricing for inland houseboat holidays, you're paying for accessible, low-stress cruising rather than performance. It's a sensible choice if you want to explore France's waterway network without breaking the bank or needing sailing experience.
Age worth noting Built in 2002, she's a seasoned vessel, which means maintenance standards and interior condition matter more than usual. Before booking, confirm the recent refit history and exactly what's included in your hire agreement, so there are no surprises once you've flown in from the US or UK.
