SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 13.5-metre motor boat sleeps up to 10 people across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a river or canal charter. The generous berth count means you can bring the extended crew without feeling cramped.

Practical river cruiser The bow thruster is genuinely useful for tight mooring situations on European inland waterways, and onboard heating makes shoulder-season cruising comfortable. The electric toilet and galley refrigerator handle the essentials well for a floating holiday.

Fair value proposition At 2009 vintage with standard river-boat amenities, this feels reasonably priced for a 10-person capacity—particularly if you're splitting charter fees among multiple cabins. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable and typical for this category.

One honest note Being a motor boat on rivers rather than a sailing yacht, this is purely about relaxed cruising and exploring waterways at leisurely speeds—not suited if you're hoping for the sailing experience or ocean conditions. Also check with Riverly which European river system this operates on (Loire, Saône, Rhine?) before booking, as that shapes your entire itinerary.

Frequently asked questions
Can Cruiser Premium 8/10 Pers. be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Cruiser Premium 8/10 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 Premium 8/10 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.
