Based at Saint-Leger-sur-Dheune, in Saint-Leger-sur-Dheune, France. Pénichette Premium+ 6 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
12 Rue du Port
Perfect for families This Pénichette is ideal for multi-generational groups or two couples wanting a relaxed inland waterway escape—the 3 cabins and 6 berths give everyone breathing room. It's a proper houseboat experience rather than a sailing yacht, so no experience needed.
Smart creature comforts You get air-con and heating for year-round comfort, plus a bow thruster for easy maneuvering in tight locks and marinas—genuinely useful on European rivers. The bimini top keeps sun and light rain off the helm, and electric toilet beats chemical alternatives on longer trips.
Strong value proposition At €3,449/week for six people, you're looking at roughly €575 per person—genuinely competitive for a fully-equipped, self-catering base. The €4,500 deposit is reasonable for a vessel this size. Factor in flight time to the charter base (likely France or Belgium given Pénichette's network), but once you arrive, fuel and mooring costs are modest.
One thing to note Houseboats don't sail—you're motoring along rivers and canals at walking pace, which some find meditative and others find slow. If you're after wind in the sails and proper sailing, this isn't your vessel; but for exploring French inland waterways with comfort and space, it's genuinely well-suited.
