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.
Ideal for families This Nicols Confort is a solid choice for groups of 6, 9 people seeking a relaxed river or canal holiday, particularly families mixing ages or multi-generational trips. The three-cabin layout spreads people comfortably without anyone feeling cramped for a leisurely waterways break.
Practical river cruiser You get the essentials here: heating (useful for shoulder seasons), a proper fridge, and an electric toilet, no primitive bucket setups. At 11 metres, she's manoeuvrable enough for smaller European waterways while still offering decent living space, and the radio-CD player adds gentle entertainment for downtime.
Good value proposition At a €3,000 deposit, this vessel sits in the accessible mid-range for group charters; running costs on a motor boat are typically lower than sailing yachts, and inland waterway bases usually offer straightforward, affordable logistics. The 1999 build means she's proven and paid for, not a cutting-edge vessel, but reliable workhorse credentials.
Age and pace caveat Being 25 years old, don't expect sleek finishes or modern comforts; this boat suits people who prioritise function and group experience over glamour. If your group values slow, stress-free exploration over comfort frills, she's spot-on; if anyone demands contemporary interiors, look elsewhere.

Based at Sablé-sur-Sarthe, in Sablé-sur-Sarthe, France. Cruiser Comfort 6/9 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Sablé-sur-Sarthe sits on the Sarthe River in the Loire Valley and serves as an inland cruising base rather than a coastal one. Week 1 cruising typically covers the gentle river system toward Le Mans or downstream toward the Maine confluence, with lock transits required; this suits clients seeking a slower-paced, cultural cruise through French countryside rather than open-water sailing. The location works well if you want to combine boating with wine regions and châteaux visits, though it is not a suitable starting point if your week 1 plan involves coastal sailing or significant distance.
