SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for inland explorers This 2018 Pénichette is ideal if you're after a relaxed river or canal cruise rather than open-water sailing, think French waterways, Dutch canals, or similar European networks. It's a proper houseboat designed for slow-paced, lock-by-lock cruising, not sea yachting.
Well-equipped for comfort For a compact 9.5m vessel, it's thoughtfully fitted with heating, generator, bow thruster (brilliant for tight canal manoeuvres), and a bimini for sun protection. The electric toilet and galley fridge keep things civilised, and sleeping four means decent value for families or small groups splitting costs.
Reasonable value proposition At €4,500 deposit, the pricing looks fair for a modern, well-maintained houseboat in this size bracket. Daily rates through Riverly are typically modest compared to seagoing charters, making it accessible for a week's European inland adventure without breaking the bank.
One honest note With only one cabin and four berths, sleeping arrangements mean shared or convertible bunk spaces, fine for friends or families comfortable bunking together, but tight if privacy matters. Also, confirm your charter base location; Riverly operates across multiple regions, so check flight connections and transfers from your nearest airport before booking.

The marina & destination
Based at Loosdrecht, in Loosdrecht, Netherlands. Pénichette Premium+ 2/4 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Loosdrecht is a freshwater lake marina in the heart of the Dutch inland waterway network, ideal for a relaxed first week exploring the Vecht River valley and connected lake system without exposure to coastal weather. From here you can cruise south to Utrecht and Amsterdam within a day, or north through the Gooi lakes toward the IJsselmeer; the shallow, protected waters and lock-free passages between lakes suit both novice helmsfolk and those seeking sheltered cruising. Week one typically involves gentle daysails of 2 to 4 hours between lake villages, with ample opportunity to moor and explore historic towns on foot.
