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 slow cruising. This compact 2018 houseboat suits couples or small families who want to explore European inland waterways at a leisurely pace rather than chase open-water sailing. The 1-cabin, 4-berth layout works best if two berths are for children or you don't mind cosy quarters.
Standout practical features. The bow thruster is genuinely useful for manoeuvring in tight canal locks and marinas, while the heating and generator mean you can charter shoulder seasons comfortably. Bimini top and electric toilet are solid comfort additions for this vessel class.
Fair value proposition. At €4,500 deposit for a 2018 boat with those essentials, pricing sits mid-range for European inland charters—reasonable if the weekly rate reflects the single cabin and modest size. Riverly operates across France and beyond, so base location matters for your logistics from a UK/US airport.
One honest caveat: Four berths in 9.5 metres feels snug, especially if you're sleeping two adults per cabin. Check the actual cabin dimensions and galley setup before booking—space comfort varies significantly in houseboats, and you'll want to confirm sleeping arrangements suit your group before committing.
