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 or families This 2015 Nicols is an ideal choice if you're looking for a comfortable motor boat holiday on inland waterways, think French canals and rivers rather than coastal sailing. The two-cabin layout works well for two couples or a family of up to six, though sleeping six means tight quarters.
Solid comfort features The bow thruster is genuinely useful for tight locks and mooring in narrow canals, and heating means you're not restricted to summer-only trips. Standard amenities like a fridge, TV, and DVD keep everyone comfortable during longer cruising days, especially helpful when weather forces a quieter day onboard.
Reasonable value proposition At this size and year, the €3,500 deposit suggests a mid-range charter price, fair for a well-equipped inland cruiser where fuel and mooring fees are typically modest compared to seagoing yachts. You're paying for convenience and comfort rather than performance.
Caveat: landlocked adventure This is strictly an inland waterways boat, so if you're flying long-haul expecting to explore coastal scenery or anchor in turquoise bays, this isn't your vessel. It shines on France's canal network or similar systems, but that's a very different holiday from open-water cruising.
