Perfect for groups This 2003 Pénichette is a no-nonsense houseboat that sleeps up to 12 across four cabins, ideal if you're bringing extended family or friends on an inland waterway holiday. At 14.9 metres, she's manageable for mixed-experience crews while offering real living space.
Practical inland cruiser You get the essentials: heating for shoulder seasons, a bow thruster for easier canal handling, and decent comfort features like a bimini and refrigerator. There's no zero deposit, which is refreshingly straightforward, no hidden financial friction when you book.
Solid value proposition For a large-group charter on European rivers or canals, this represents genuine affordability compared to sailing yachts of comparable berth count. Riverly's rental model keeps costs transparent and reasonable.
One honest note A 2003 boat is now over 20 years old, so expect a well-used interior and mechanicals that may require occasional attention. If pristine finishes or cutting-edge amenities matter to you, a newer Pénichette would be worth the premium, but for a relaxed, budget-conscious group cruise, this one does the job.

The marina & destination
Based at Joigny, in Joigny, France. Pénichette Premium 8/12 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Joigny sits on the Yonne River in Burgundy, offering access to the quieter inland waterway network south towards Auxerre and the Nivernais Canal. From here, week 1 charters typically explore the locks and rural countryside of the Burgundy Canal system, with easy day-hops between small towns and wine villages. This is a low-speed, low-wind cruising ground best suited to clients seeking leisurely inland navigation rather than sailing; expect 4-5 knot cruising speeds and lock transits as the rhythm of your holiday.
