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.
Ideal for river families This 2023 Nicols Estivale is a solid choice for groups of 4, 8 wanting a relaxed inland waterway cruise rather than coastal sailing, think European canal systems and gentle rivers. It's perfect for families or mixed-ability groups since motor cruising requires far less technical skill than sailing.
Smart practical design The bow thruster and electric toilet are genuine comfort features on a 13.5m boat, making tight lock passages manageable and daily life more pleasant. Three cabins sleeping up to eight means reasonable per-person value, and a 2023 build means you're getting modern reliability without paying superyacht prices.
Good value proposition At this size and specification, the €3,500 deposit is reasonable, you're looking at a well-equipped modern cruiser with heating (useful for shoulder-season European trips) at what should be a mid-range daily rate. The Riverly operator network across France and beyond means decent logistics if you're flying into Paris or another hub.
One honest note Inland motor cruising isn't for everyone, if your group wants coastal scenery, swimming from a yacht, or that sailing experience, this river boat won't deliver it. Confirm the actual charter base location before booking, as "rivers" can mean anything from the Rhine to small French canals, and that changes your trip entirely.

Based at Lübz, in Lübz, Germany. Cruiser Premium 6/8 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
I don't have reliable information about a marina called Lübz in Germany. While there is a town called Lübz in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, I cannot confirm details about a working charter marina there or its specific cruising grounds without risking inaccuracy. I'd recommend verifying the marina name and location before I write the summary. If you meant a different marina in the German lake system or Baltic region, please clarify and I'll provide detailed, factual information about week 1 cruising possibilities.
