The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
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.
Perfect for river explorers This 2017 Nicols is a solid choice if you're set on inland waterway cruising rather than coastal sailing. At 13.5 metres with 2 cabins sleeping up to 6, it's genuinely spacious for a river boat and handles the comfort expectations of international groups.
Standout practicality The "Prestige" spec typically means better-than-basic finishes and a decent galley, which matters when you're living aboard for a week navigating French canals or similar systems. The €4,500 deposit is reasonable, and the €3,202 weekly rate sits fairly in the mid-range for this boat class and operator quality.
Honest value assessment You're paying sensibly for a well-maintained, modern motor cruiser with genuine creature comforts—this isn't budget kit masquerading as premium. Just be aware that river boats trade sea-going capability entirely for shallow-draft accessibility and calm-water handling.
One real caveat River charters involve locks, tidal windows, and route restrictions that demand more active skippering than some clients expect; if you're hoping for "relaxing drift with minimal thinking," a coastal base with a larger powerboat might suit you better. Also confirm fuel consumption and whether it's included, as river motors can be thirsty.
