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 families This Pénichette is perfect for multi-generational groups or friends wanting a floating base on European inland waterways, think French canals and rivers rather than open sea. With 3 cabins sleeping up to 7, it's genuinely spacious for a houseboat of this size.
Standout practical features The bow thruster is a real asset for manoeuvring in tight canal locks, and the heating means you're not limited to summer months. Electric toilet, refrigerator, and bimini awning cover the essentials for relaxed, self-catering cruising.
Strong value proposition At this price point with a €3,500 deposit, you're getting solid family accommodation on a well-established network, Riverly operates across multiple European inland bases. Daily rates are genuinely competitive for group charters where you split costs across 6, 7 people.
Honest note on age The 2010 build is respectable but not brand-new; expect functional comfort rather than luxury finishes. Confirm with Riverly what maintenance and upholstery refreshes have been done recently, especially if you're chartering in shoulder seasons.

Based at Corbigny, in Corbigny, France. Pénichette Premium 6/7 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Corbigny is a working town marina on the Yonne River in Burgundy, offering direct access to the Nivernais Canal and interconnected waterway network; week one typically involves cruising south toward Auxerre or north toward the Seine, with gentle lock-to-lock progression through vineyard landscapes. The canal system here suits operators comfortable with multiple daily locks and lower speeds (4 knots typical), making it ideal for those prioritizing landscape and wine-region stops over coastal sailing. Most week-one routes cover 40-60 km, allowing time to explore Auxerre, Chablis wine villages, or venture toward the Burgundy Canal network without rushing.
