SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples or small families wanting a relaxed inland waterway cruise without sailing experience needed. The 2012 Nicols is a trusted river boat brand, so you're getting proven reliability on European waterways.

Standout features include air conditioning and heating, genuinely useful on inland rivers where temperature swings matter, plus a bow thruster that makes tight lock passages far less stressful. The 6-berth capacity is handy if you're splitting costs with friends, even though two cabins means close quarters.

Strong value proposition at €2,478/week for a fully equipped motor cruiser; this undercuts comparable hire boats by 15, 20%. Heating and A/C are genuinely rare extras on budget river boats, so you're not paying premium price for comfort.

One honest note: at 10.8 metres, this is a snug boat for six people sleeping aboard every night. If you're booking for maximum headcount, plan proper rotation of cabin space or accept cosy living, it's not a luxury layout, it's efficient cruising.

The marina & destination

Based at Joigny, in Joigny, France. Cruiser Premium 4/6 Pers. is operated by Riverly.

Why this is a great starting point

Joigny sits on the Yonne River in Burgundy, offering access to the quieter inland waterway network south towards Auxerre and the Nivernais Canal. From here, week 1 charters typically explore the locks and rural countryside of the Burgundy Canal system, with easy day-hops between small towns and wine villages. This is a low-speed, low-wind cruising ground best suited to clients seeking leisurely inland navigation rather than sailing; expect 4-5 knot cruising speeds and lock transits as the rhythm of your holiday.

Frequently asked questions
Can Cruiser Premium 4/6 Pers. be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Cruiser Premium 4/6 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 4/6 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.
