SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples This 8.8-metre Nicols motor cruiser is ideal for two people wanting a relaxed inland waterway holiday, think French canals and rivers rather than coastal sailing. The single cabin sleeps four, but realistically it's best enjoyed as a couple's getaway or with very close friends comfortable in cosy quarters.

No-fuss cruising You get the essentials: heating for shoulder-season comfort, a functional galley with fridge, and an electric toilet that beats manual pumping. It's unpretentious and practical, no fancy systems to learn, just straightforward river boating that lets you focus on the scenery and pace of inland Europe.

Excellent value At €1,322 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this boat undercuts many charter options for a week exploring the Loire, Burgundy canals, or similar networks. For international clients flying in, the low weekly cost makes sense if you're willing to base yourself in a quieter, slower-paced destination away from coastal hotspots.

Tight sleeping reality One cabin with berths for four means real space is limited, fine for a couple, but those four-person charters will feel snug fast. Check the operator's (Riverly) exact base location before booking, as remote inland bases can mean longer airport transfers than coastal marinas.

The marina & destination

Based at Sucé-sur-Erdre, in Sucé-sur-Erdre, France. Cruiser Comfort XL 2/4 Pers. is operated by Riverly.

Why this is a great starting point

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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
