Perfect for couples This 8.8-metre Nicols is an ideal choice if you're two people wanting a relaxed river cruise with the option to bring friends or family along. The single cabin sleeps four comfortably, making it flexible for mixed group sizes without the cost of a multi-cabin vessel.

Practical river cruiser You get the essentials for inland waterway comfort—heating for cooler months, a functioning galley with fridge, and an electric toilet that beats manual alternatives. The radio-CD player adds a nice touch for evening entertainment, though don't expect luxury; this is honest, functional cruising.

Solid value proposition At this price point and boat size, you're getting reasonable bang for your buck on European rivers. The €2,500 deposit is moderate and suggests Riverly runs a straightforward operation without hidden surprises.

One realistic limitation An 8.8-metre boat with one cabin means shared sleeping quarters if you're travelling as a foursome—there's no private sleeping space for couples within the group. If privacy matters to your crew, you might want to consider a larger vessel or adjust your passenger plan accordingly.

The marina & destination

Based at Amieira Marina, in Amieira, Portugal. Cruiser Comfort XL 2/4 Pers. is operated by Riverly.

Can Cruiser Comfort XL 2/4 Pers. be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Cruiser Comfort XL 2/4 Pers. bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Cruiser Comfort XL 2/4 Pers.?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
