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 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.

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