SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 2024 Nicols is a solid choice for 6, 8 people wanting a relaxed river or coastal cruise without sailing skills required. It's a modern motor boat with decent comfort features and plenty of sleeping capacity spread across three cabins.
Standout features The bow thruster and air conditioning are genuinely useful on a boat this size, making tight mooring situations manageable and keeping everyone comfortable in warmer months. Heating is a bonus if you're chartering shoulder seasons in northern Europe.
Value consideration At €4,500 deposit, this feels fairly priced for a new, well-equipped motor cruiser in the 13.5m range. You're paying for modern build quality and convenience features rather than sailing heritage, which suits groups prioritizing comfort over performance.
One honest note We don't have the base location data, so check where this yacht operates before booking, river systems (Loire, Burgundy) and coastal bases have very different appeal and accessibility from international airports. That'll affect whether the trip makes sense logistics-wise for your group flying in from abroad.

The marina & destination
Based at Le Somail, in Le Somail, France. Cruiser Premium+ 6/8 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Allée de la Glacière
Le Somail sits on the Canal du Midi, making it ideal for a leisurely first week exploring France's most famous waterway; you can reach Carcassonne (about 50km east) or cruise west towards Toulouse and the Atlantic approaches. The canal offers lock-free, protected cruising at walking pace, perfect for charterers new to French waters or wanting to combine sailing with inland exploration. Week 1 typically involves mastering lock procedures and enjoying the region's wine villages and countryside rather than open-water sailing.
