About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Classic barge charm This 1988 Pénichette is a traditional French houseboat designed for leisurely inland waterway cruising rather than speed or modern comfort. At 14.5 metres with four cabins sleeping up to 12, it's purpose-built for multi-family groups or friends wanting an affordable floating base.
Practical features The bow thruster is genuinely useful for tight locks and river manoeuvres, whilst heating and electric toilet mean reasonable comfort for European inland cruising. A refrigerator keeps provisions fresh during multi-day trips, which is essential when you're on the water for a week.
Value proposition At this price point with a modest €3,000 deposit, you're looking at accessible group holidays, especially if costs are split across 8, 12 people. Inland waterway charters typically undercut coastal sailing significantly, making this format ideal if your budget is tight but your group is large.
The honest note As a 1988 build, expect vintage charm but also vintage maintenance quirks, older systems can be unpredictable, and cabins will feel compact rather than luxurious. Check operator reviews carefully; barge condition varies widely, and you'll want confirmation that heating and plumbing actually work reliably before committing.

The marina & destination
Based at Lattes, in Lattes, France. Pénichette Comfort 8/12 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.
