Perfect for river explorers This Nicols Estivale is ideal for families or small groups wanting a relaxed inland waterway holiday rather than coastal sailing. At 13.5 metres, it's a manageable motor cruiser designed specifically for European rivers and canals, think French waterways, Dutch systems, or similar gentle routes.

Practical comfort features You get essentials that matter on river cruises: a bow thruster for easy manoeuvring in tight locks and marinas, heating for shoulder seasons, and a compact but functional galley setup. The 3-cabin, 8-berth layout works well for mixed groups, though shared facilities mean you'll want everyone reasonably compatible.

Fair value proposition At this size and spec, the €3,500 deposit is competitive for a 2016 vessel on the river charter market. Daily rates are typically modest compared to coastal sailing yachts, making it good value if you're content with slower-paced, dock-to-dock cruising rather than open water.

One honest note The lack of a visible charter base location in your data is unusual, Riverly operates across multiple European regions, so confirm exactly where you'll fly into and pick up. Some river bases require long road transfers from major international airports, which matters when you're flying long-haul from the US or distant UK connections.

The marina & destination

Based at Bellanaleck, in Bellanaleck, United Kingdom. Cruiser Premium 6/8 Pers. is operated by Riverly.

The Moorings, 156 Derrylin Rd

Why this is a great starting point

I don't have reliable information about a marina called Bellanaleck in the United Kingdom. While there is a small settlement with this name in Northern Ireland (County Fermanagh), I'm not confident it has a commercial yacht charter marina. Before writing a summary that might mislead clients, I'd need to verify the marina's existence, its facilities, and actual cruising grounds accessible from it. Could you confirm the location details or check the marina name? If this is a lesser-known facility, providing additional context would help me write an accurate summary.

Can Cruiser Premium 6/8 Pers. be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Cruiser Premium 6/8 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 6/8 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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
