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 & small families This 2018 Nicols is an ideal fit if you're after a relaxed inland waterway cruise, think French canals or similar river systems. It sleeps up to 6 across two cabins, so it works nicely for two couples or a family with young kids who don't mind sharing bunks.
Smart comfort touches The heating and bow thruster are genuinely useful on European rivers, especially if you're visiting outside peak summer. Essentials like a proper galley fridge, electric toilet, and entertainment (TV, DVD, radio) mean you're not roughing it, this feels like a floating apartment rather than a bare-bones boat.
Strong value proposition At around €2,629 per week with only a €3,500 deposit, this represents solid mid-range pricing for a well-equipped motor cruiser. You're paying for comfort and convenience rather than paying a premium for luxury or speed.
One practical note Riverly operates across European inland networks, so factor in how you'll reach the base, most international flyers will need to arrange ground transport from the nearest airport. Confirm exact base location and whether Riverly offers airport transfer coordination, as that'll affect your overall trip logistics from the UK or continent.

Based at Saverne, in Saverne, France. Cruiser Premium 4/6 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Saverne sits on the Marne-Rhine Canal in Alsace, offering easy access to France's inland waterway network rather than coastal cruising. Week 1 charters typically explore the canal system northward toward Strasbourg or westward into the Moselle valley, with locks and small towns punctuating a leisurely pace suited to first-time barge or canal boat hirers. This is a freshwater cruising base for those seeking medieval towns and vineyard landscapes rather than sea sailing.
