Ideal for couples or small families looking for a relaxed inland waterway escape without the complexity of sailing. This 8.8m motor cruiser is perfectly suited to the Nicols charter fleet's strengths on European river systems, where you'll find it genuinely useful.

Compact but liveable , the single cabin sleeps four (likely with a convertible saloon berth), and essentials like heating and a proper electric toilet make shorter trips comfortable. You're getting practical river-cruising kit rather than luxury, which is exactly what works on narrow European waterways.

Good value proposition if you're chartering on rivers like the Midi Canal or Loire rather than expecting coastal yacht amenities. At this price point with a €2,500 deposit, it's accessible for families wanting to explore France's inland network without breaking the bank.

One realistic note: single-cabin layout means zero privacy if you're traveling with another couple , the second berth is likely the saloon sofa bed. If that matters to you, stepping up to a two-cabin Nicols model would be worth the extra investment for actual separation.

The marina & destination

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

Why this is a great starting point

I don't have reliable details about Amieira Marina's specific location, facilities, or the cruising grounds accessible from it. Rather than provide inaccurate information, I'd recommend checking current sources on Portuguese marinas or providing additional context about which river or coast this marina serves, so I can write an accurate summary for your clients.

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
