Perfect for river explorers This 2025 Pénichette is ideal if you want a slow-paced barge holiday on France's inland waterways rather than a coastal sailing experience. It's brilliantly suited for groups of 6 wanting comfort and space to relax while cruising canals and rivers at a leisurely pace.
Standout comfort features You're getting air conditioning and heating (essential for year-round French river cruising), a bow thruster for tight locks and moorings, and a Bimini for sun protection on deck. The three cabins spread across 13.4 metres give everyone reasonable privacy, a real plus for multi-day trips with friends or family.
Solid value proposition At this price point with full modern amenities and a brand-new build, you're paying fairly for what you get. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable, and Riverly's reputation on European inland waterways is solid, though I'd confirm their English-speaking support given most international clients need that reassurance.
One practical note Pénichettes operate on French canals and rivers, so you'll need to factor in getting to France, likely a flight to Paris or Lyon, then a transfer to your specific base. Check exactly which waterway system your charter covers, as some routes are more scenic and traffic-free than others.

The marina & destination
Based at Saverne, in Saverne, France. Pénichette Premium+ 6 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Saverne sits on the Marne-Rhine Canal in Alsace, offering easy access to France's inland waterway network rather than coastal cruising. Week 1 charters typically explore the canal system northward toward Strasbourg or westward into the Moselle valley, with locks and small towns punctuating a leisurely pace suited to first-time barge or canal boat hirers. This is a freshwater cruising base for those seeking medieval towns and vineyard landscapes rather than sea sailing.
