Enjoy Golf-Related Activities
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned golfer, our license-free boat rentals allow you to reach golf courses surrounded by nature, featuring driving ranges and layouts suited to every level.
In Alsace
From the Golf du Pays de Sarrebourg with views of the Vosges Mountains, to the rolling greens of the Golf de Sarreguemines and the Golf de Nancy, a cruise along the Marne–Rhine and Sarre canals offers plenty of options for golfers.
In Anjou
Anjou is an ideal destination to combine boating and golf. The Sablé-Solesmes Golf Course, one of the finest in western France, can be accessed directly from the river thanks to a private pontoon located within the course itself.

Holiday ideas
100% Natural
From rivers to canals, nature reveals itself along the water. From the deck of your boat, flora and fauna are all around you. On board, let yourself be soothed by the peaceful surroundings. A landscape or animal catches your eye? You’re free to stop wherever you like and explore the area.
By choosing a boat rental with Riverly, you can:
– Moor along untouched riverbanks
– Spot herons and kingfishers right from your boat
– Discover wild landscapes along the water
– Learn more about local wildlife from lock keepers
– Enjoy family-friendly outdoor activities in natural settings
European Cities
What if your next city break… was by boat? No license needed—just the desire to discover cities from a new perspective. On board, there’s no stress, no schedule to follow: you move at your own pace, enjoying the scenery and stopovers as they come.
From our base in Bram, you can reach Toulouse via the Canal du Midi in just half a day of cruising. Once moored, landmarks like the Basilica of Saint-Sernin or the Capitole are just a short walk away. Further north, set off from Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune and follow the Saône River to Lyon: stroll along the riverbanks, enjoy a drink in the Old Town, then return to your boat for a peaceful night on board.
And it’s not just in France. Take Venice, for example, you can arrive by boat, moor near St. Mark’s Square, and experience *la dolce vita* with your feet practically in the water. In Amsterdam too, everything feels different when you’re navigating through the heart of the canals.
With Riverly, big cities become intimate stopovers, accessible without a car, free from constraints, and always offering the freedom to pause whenever you feel like it.
Fishing
What a joy it is to fish from the deck of your boat as you cruise along! Whether you’re an experienced angler or simply curious to enjoy fishing with your family, explore our getaway ideas for a fishing weekend.
Bicycle
In addition to your boat, Riverly offers bike rentals you can take on board. Use them to stretch your legs along the towpaths, ride on dedicated cycling trails to explore nearby villages and attractions, or simply run errands during your cruise. Here are some getaway ideas for a cycling-themed holiday or weekend.
