The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
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 families This Pénichette 1020 is ideal for a small family or two couples wanting a relaxed inland waterway holiday without the salt spray and swells of ocean sailing. The 2-cabin, 5-berth layout gives everyone their own space, and the houseboat's shallow draft means access to France's beautiful canal networks that larger yachts can't reach.
Solid practical features You get heating for shoulder seasons, a bow thruster for easy manoeuvring in tight locks and moorings, and creature comforts like a fridge and electric toilet—essentials when you're living aboard for a week. The bimini provides shade during those long European summer days on the water.
Excellent value proposition At €2,474 per week, this is genuinely affordable for a fully-equipped floating home-away-from-home, especially if split four or five ways. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable and gives you serious control over a vessel that sleeps everyone comfortably.
One honest note A 2004 build means systems are aging—nothing alarming, but expect the occasional minor hiccup with older plumbing or electrical quirks. Budget a bit of patience and ask Riverly upfront about recent maintenance on the heating and toilet systems if you're booking outside summer months.
