Welcome to Riverly

Riverly was founded in 2026 when two French pioneers in river tourism, Locaboat and Nicols, joined forces. Together, we have become French leader of license-free houseboat rentals, with a fleet of 700 boats spread across 39 bases in 7 European countries. Our mission? To invite you to experience a different kind of holiday, far from the hectic pace of everyday life. When you board a Riverly boat, you disconnect a little and reconnect a lot: with your loved ones, with nature, and with the beauty of places that only canals and rivers can reveal.

Whether you are travelling as a couple, with family or friends, our passionate teams, who are experts in each region, will help you find the boat that suits your needs and suggest itineraries rich in discoveries. As you wander along the water, we’ll also share some ideas for stops along the way to make the most of your cruise: a medieval village, a castle, a wine tasting cellar, a hike or an impromptu swim. On board, the recipe is simple: you steer, you admire, you chat, you laugh, you open a good bottle of wine. And then, little by little, you discover what makes Riverly so special: there’s no place like a boat for bringing people together.
