About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups The Nicols Estivale Sixto is a solid choice for families or small groups wanting a relaxed motor cruising holiday, eight berths across three cabins give you real flexibility without the sailing commitment. Built in 2019, she's modern enough to feel comfortable for a week-long French waterway adventure.
Practical river cruiser The flybridge is a genuine bonus for this class of boat, letting you enjoy the scenery while underway or at anchor. Heating and that coffee maker matter more than you'd think on European inland waterways, especially in shoulder seasons when mornings can be chilly.
Strong value proposition At this length and cabin count, the pricing sits fairly in the mid-market for French river charters, you're getting decent modern equipment without overpaying for luxury frills. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a boat of this size.
Charter logistics note Anjou Navigation operates from the Loire and Sarthe regions, which are genuinely inland, you'll want to factor in a 2, 3 hour transfer from Paris CDG or Nantes airport depending on your exact pickup location. Confirm the base with the operator before booking, as it affects your travel planning from the UK or US significantly.

The marina & destination
Based at Grez-Neuville, in Grez-Neuville, France. Opus is operated by Anjou Navigation.
Grez-Neuville sits on the Maine river in the Loire Valley, offering access to a network of inland waterways rather than coastal cruising; week one typically involves navigating locks upstream toward Angers or downstream toward the Oudon confluence, with gentle river scenery and small villages as destinations. This base suits charterers seeking a slower pace of cruising with manageable daily distances, french inland cuisine, and the chance to explore châteaux-lined valleys rather than open water. Note that this is river cruising requiring lock experience or willingness to learn; it's not suitable for those expecting Aegean-style sailing.
