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.
Perfect for families. This classic 1985 Pénichette is an ideal choice if you want a relaxed, slow-paced inland waterway experience with kids or a small group—seven berths across two cabins gives you flexible sleeping arrangements without cramping everyone in.
Standout feature: At 11 metres, it's compact and highly manoeuvrable on narrow European canals and rivers, which means you can explore smaller waterways that larger charter boats simply can't access. Heating and a proper electric toilet are genuinely handy for comfort.
Excellent value. At just over €1,100 per week, this is remarkably affordable for a seven-person vessel, making it one of the cheaper options for larger family groups. The €2,500 deposit is also reasonable for a boat of this age and size.
One honest note: As a 1985 build, expect vintage charm but also dated fixtures—refrigeration and appliances may feel basic compared to newer charter fleets. Check with Riverly about recent refurbishment details before booking, especially if comfort standards matter to your group. Without knowing the exact base location, I'd recommend confirming transfer times from your nearest major European airport when enquiring.
