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 inland adventurers This Pénichette houseboat suits groups or families keen on European river cruising rather than open-water sailing, think French canals, the Rhine, or similar waterways. At 11.8 metres with 3 cabins sleeping up to 7, it's roomy enough for two families or a larger group wanting a relaxed, self-catering base.
Solid practical features You get heating (handy for shoulder seasons), a bow thruster for easy manoeuvring in tight locks and marinas, and the essentials like fridge and electric toilet. The bimini provides shade on sunny river stretches, and it's a 2006 build, so not brand-new but proven and reliable on European inland routes.
Good value proposition The €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a 7-berth vessel, and Riverly operates established houseboat fleets across European waterways with English-speaking support, important when you're flying in from the UK or US. Daily rates on these boats tend to be competitive for the space and comfort you get.
One honest note This is a houseboat, not a sailing yacht, so if you're after wind-in-the-sails experiences, it's not your vessel. It's purpose-built for leisurely inland cruising where scenery, villages, and relaxation matter more than sailing performance.

Based at Lattes, in Lattes, France. Pénichette Premium 6/7 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
I don't have reliable information about a marina called Lattes in France that serves as a charter starting point. While there is a town called Lattes near Montpellier in southern France, I cannot confirm details about a functioning yacht charter marina there, its facilities, or typical week-one cruising itineraries without risking inaccuracy. I'd recommend verifying the marina name and location, or providing additional details so I can write an accurate summary for your clients.
