About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Who it suits: This is an ideal choice for larger groups or multi-family holidays who want motorised cruising without the demands of sailing. With 11 berths across 3 cabins, Liberty 1 maximises sleeping capacity , perfect if you're splitting costs among friends or extended family.
Standout features: The flybridge is a real highlight for a 1989 build, giving you excellent sightseeing and socialising space above deck. Practical touches like heating, coffee maker, and ice maker show this is set up for genuine comfort on inland waterways, which is exactly what the Nicols Marina range does well.
Value for money: At this price point with a modest €3,000 deposit, you're getting solid, no-nonsense river cruising. The boat delivers what it promises , comfortable accommodation and straightforward operation , without premium pricing, making it genuinely accessible for group charters.
One honest note: Built in 1989, this is an older vessel, so don't expect modern finishes or the latest technology. The Anjou Navigation base is inland on French waterways (Pays de la Loire region), so if you're flying internationally, factor in a transfer from Nantes or similar , it's not a coastal marina with quick airport access.

The marina & destination
Based at Sablé-sur-Sarthe, in Sablé-sur-Sarthe, France. Liberty 1 is operated by Anjou Navigation.
Sablé-sur-Sarthe sits on the Sarthe River in the Loire Valley and serves as an inland cruising base rather than a coastal one. Week 1 cruising typically covers the gentle river system toward Le Mans or downstream toward the Maine confluence, with lock transits required; this suits clients seeking a slower-paced, cultural cruise through French countryside rather than open-water sailing. The location works well if you want to combine boating with wine regions and châteaux visits, though it is not a suitable starting point if your week 1 plan involves coastal sailing or significant distance.
