The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Perfect for groups This 13.5-metre Nicols is a solid choice if you're chartering with friends or a larger family—it sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, so costs per person drop nicely. The boat's 2004 vintage means it's proven and reliable rather than cutting-edge, which typically translates to fewer surprises on the water.
Practical inland cruiser Built for European river and canal systems, this motor boat includes essentials like a bow thruster (brilliant for tight locks and mooring), heating for shoulder seasons, and a galley with refrigeration. You're getting a no-fuss, functional layout designed for comfort over speed—ideal if you want to explore waterways at a leisurely pace rather than chase open-water thrills.
Strong value proposition At under €2,400 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this represents excellent bang-for-buck for a 10-berth vessel, especially if split among multiple cabins. Running costs on an older motor boat are typically reasonable, and Riverly's reputation for maintaining their fleet adds confidence.
One honest note The 2004 build age means older systems and potential maintenance quirks—nothing alarming, but don't expect modern creature comforts or the latest navigation kit. Check what's included in your charter (fuel, mooring fees, insurance) before booking, as these can add up on inland routes with frequent lock transits.
