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.
Perfect for river exploring. This Nicols Confort 1100 is a solid choice if you want a relaxed inland waterway holiday rather than coastal sailing, think French canals, Dutch rivers, or similar sheltered routes. At 11 metres with 3 cabins sleeping up to 9, it's genuinely practical for two families or a group of mates wanting to share costs and space without cramping.
What stands out here. The heating and electric toilet are proper comforts on a river boat, especially if you're chartering outside peak summer. It's a no-frills motorboat, which means straightforward operation and zero sailing experience needed, just turn the key and cruise at a leisurely pace.
Value proposition. At €3,000 deposit with modest cabin count, this works out reasonably for groups splitting the charter fee, particularly on longer 2+ week bookings typical of canal holidays. Running costs on inland routes tend to be predictable, which helps budgeting.
One honest note. Without knowing the exact base location from your data, I can't comment on flight convenience or transfer times, that'll matter hugely for international clients. Do check where Riverly operates this boat and whether a major airport is genuinely close, because a lengthy road transfer can eat into a shorter charter window.

Le Somail sits on the Canal du Midi, making it ideal for a leisurely first week exploring France's most famous waterway; you can reach Carcassonne (about 50km east) or cruise west towards Toulouse and the Atlantic approaches. The canal offers lock-free, protected cruising at walking pace, perfect for charterers new to French waters or wanting to combine sailing with inland exploration. Week 1 typically involves mastering lock procedures and enjoying the region's wine villages and countryside rather than open-water sailing.
