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.
Best for casual groups This 13.5m Nicols is ideal if you're chartering with friends or a larger family who want a relaxed, self-catering experience on inland waterways. The 10-berth capacity makes it good value for splitting costs across a bigger crew, though comfort gets cosy with that many people aboard.
Solid practical specs You get the essentials here—bow thruster for tight mooring situations, heating for cooler seasons, and decent onboard facilities including electric toilet and fridge. It's a straightforward, no-frills motor cruiser designed for European river and canal networks, not coastal sailing.
Excellent value proposition At under €3,000 per week through Riverly, this represents strong value for an 8–10 person charter, especially if you're splitting the cost. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable and fairly standard for this category.
One practical note Inland waterway charters require basic boat-handling knowledge or a willing crew—you'll need to manage locks, narrow passages, and river conditions yourself. If you're flying in from the US or further afield, factor in time to reach the base location and get comfortable with the boat's systems before setting off.
