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.
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 relaxed river exploring. The Nicols Confort 900 is a classic European river cruiser that suits groups or families who want a laid-back inland waterway experience rather than coastal sailing, think the Rhône, Danube, or Dutch canals rather than open water. At 8.8 metres with 2 cabins sleeping up to 7, it's genuinely roomy for a river boat and handles the compact locks and narrow channels these routes demand.
Sensible, no-fuss setup. You get the essentials done right: heating (useful for shoulder seasons in northern Europe), a decent galley fridge, and an electric toilet that beats hand-pump alternatives. The radio-CD player won't win any entertainment awards, but frankly, river cruising is about the scenery and pace, not onboard gadgets. It's honest, workmanlike kit that does the job.
Excellent value proposition. At under €1,400 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this represents genuinely affordable multi-week river cruising for a family or two couples. You're paying for access to some of Europe's most beautiful inland routes without breaking the bank, far cheaper than renting a holiday cottage with comparable sleeping capacity.
One practical note. The 2002 build age is typical for river hire fleets (these boats are built to last), but confirm current engine condition and onboard electrics with Riverly before booking, especially if you're planning winter cruising. Also verify your exact base

I don't have reliable information about Port de Plagny in Sermoise-sur-Loire to write an accurate summary. While Sermoise-sur-Loire is a real location on the Loire river system in France, I cannot verify current details about this specific marina, its facilities, or typical week-1 cruising itineraries without risking inaccuracy. I'd recommend providing me with verified details about the marina's amenities, nearby locks, river conditions, and accessible cruising grounds within a week, and I'll write the summary to your specifications.
