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 families This Nicols Confort is ideal for groups of 4, 6 wanting a relaxed inland waterway escape without the learning curve of sailing. The three cabins and sturdy 1999 build mean you've got proper sleeping space and a proven, no-fuss platform, great if you have kids or mixed abilities on board.
Smart river cruiser The heating is genuinely useful for spring or autumn European river seasons, and the electric toilet plus galley setup handle the practical side well. At 11 metres, she's nimble enough for narrow French canals or similar waterways where larger boats struggle, yet stable enough for comfortable cruising.
Honest value proposition The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and motor boats typically cost less per day than sailing yachts. Riverly's fleet tends to offer solid mid-range rates, you're paying for comfort and convenience rather than luxury, which suits most family groups fine.
One real limitation This is a 1999 boat, so don't expect modern finishes or cutting-edge tech; expect functional, well-maintained basics. If your charter includes a long international flight to reach the base, factor in a day to settle in and learn the river systems, inland cruising has its own rhythm and rules.

Sucé-sur-Erdre is a river marina situated on the Erdre, a tributary of the Loire near Nantes in western France. From here you can cruise downstream to the Loire estuary and access the Atlantic coast within a day or two, with week 1 typically involving gentle river navigation to coastal towns like Saint-Nazaire or pushing south towards the Vendée; the Erdre itself offers peaceful inland cruising through Nantes if you prefer protected waters. Light westerly winds are typical in summer, favouring coastal passage once you reach open water.
