SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 2024 Nicols is an excellent choice for families or friends wanting a relaxed inland waterway cruise, up to 8 people in three cabins. It's a spacious motor boat built for comfort rather than speed, making it ideal if you're exploring European rivers and canals at a leisurely pace.
Solid modern comforts You get air-con, heating, a bow thruster for easier maneuvering in tight spots, and a Bimini for sun protection, all the essentials for hassle-free cruising. The 2024 build means everything should feel fresh and well-maintained.
Fair value proposition At this specification and size, the pricing sits in the mid-range for premium inland charter boats. The €4,500 deposit is reasonable, though you'll want to confirm the weekly rate to judge true value, European river boats vary widely depending on season and base location.
One practical note Riverly operates across multiple European waterway bases, which is great for flexibility, but confirm your specific base location before booking; some are closer to major airports than others, and transit times from the UK or US can vary significantly. Also check fuel policy and what's included in the rate, some operators charge fuel separately on motor boats.

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.
