Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Practical river cruiser This 2006 Nicols is a solid choice for groups or families wanting inland waterway exploration rather than coastal sailing—think French canals, rivers, or similar systems. With 3 cabins sleeping up to 9, it's genuinely useful for larger parties who don't mind cosy shared spaces.
Good basic kit You get the essentials: heating (essential for shoulder seasons in northern Europe), a functional galley with fridge, radio-CD entertainment, and an electric toilet. It's no luxury vessel, but these features keep life comfortable on a multi-day river journey without unnecessary frills.
Honest value angle At roughly €3,000 deposit plus charter fees, this represents fair value for budget-conscious groups exploring inland waterways—you're paying for practicality, not prestige. It won't impress anyone looking for coastal glamour, but for a week pottering through European canals with mates or extended family, the maths work.
Age consideration A 2006 motor boat is now nearly two decades old, so while Nicols builds sturdy vessels, you should expect some wear and ask the operator (Riverly) specifically about recent engine servicing and any known mechanical history before committing. Factor in that older boats occasionally need small fixes mid-charter.
