Riverly brings together half a century of experience in license-free houseboat holidays in Europe and was formed in 2025 from the houseboat specialists Locaboat and Nicols. Holidaymakers can choose from over 550 boats of various classes, including the Pénichette®, which was developed and established specifically for Riverly. From 39 departure ports in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Ireland, Portugal, and Hungary, couples, families, and groups can explore Europe’s waterways, enjoy the tranquility of rivers, lakes, and canals, and experience the landscape from a new and unique perspective. No prior knowledge or boating license is required for a houseboat vacation with Riverly – just the desire to enjoy the trip at your own pace. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, the company was awarded first place in the price-performance ratio category in a survey conducted by the market research institute ServiceValue in the “houseboat rental” sector and was subsequently named “Price Favorite – Highest Recommendation” by WirtschaftsWoche magazine.
