SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 2018 Nicols is a solid choice for families or small groups of up to 8 wanting a relaxed inland waterway holiday. The three-cabin layout means everyone gets reasonable privacy without the premium price tag of a larger vessel.
Standout practical features As a purpose-built river cruiser, she's designed for European canal and river systems, shallow draft, compact maneuvering, and all the essentials for multi-day cruising without fuss. The "Premium" specification suggests decent comfort standards for this boat class, which matters on longer trips.
Strong value proposition At this size and age with a €3,500 deposit, you're looking at genuine affordable group cruising, particularly good if you're splitting costs across 6, 8 people flying in from overseas. River boats don't command the same daily rates as coastal yachts, so your overall spend stays reasonable.
One honest note Motor cruisers on inland waterways suit relaxation over adventure, if your group craves sailing, coastal scenery, or open-water exploration, this won't deliver that. Also confirm the charter base location and season, as some European river networks have water-level restrictions that can affect bookings in shoulder months.

The marina & destination
Based at Saverne, in Saverne, France. Cruiser Premium 6/8 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.
