Riverly was founded in 2026 when two French pioneers in river tourism, Locaboat and Nicols, joined forces. Today, the company is France’s leading provider of licence-free houseboat hire, with a fleet of 700 boats spread across 39 bases in seven European countries. Riverly’s mission is to invite guests to experience a different kind of holiday, far from the hectic pace of everyday life. When you step aboard a Riverly boat, you switch off a little and reconnect with so much: with your loved ones, with nature, and with the beauty of the places that only canals and rivers can reveal.
Whether travelling as a couple, with family or friends, the company’s passionate and local experts help you find the right boat and suggest itineraries full of discoveries. Along the way, they also share ideas for stops along the route, so you can make the most of your cruise: a medieval village, a castle, a wine tasting, a hike or a spontaneous swim. On board, the formula is simple: you steer, admire, chat, laugh and open a good bottle of wine. And little by little, you discover what makes Riverly so special: there’s no better way to bring people together than on a boat.
We have boats all over the world:
