Perfect for groups This 2022 Nicols is a solid choice if you're bringing family or friends, eight berths across four cabins means everyone gets their own bunk, which matters on a river holiday where you're sharing close quarters for days.
River cruising essentials The bow thruster and heating are genuine pluses for inland waterways navigation, especially if you're tackling the French river system where precision matters and September weather turns chilly fast. Generator and full galley setup mean you're genuinely self-sufficient between mooring stops.
Fair value proposition At €3,500 deposit, you're looking at a modern, well-equipped vessel that won't break the bank, motor boats like this typically represent better value than comparable sailboats if you want to cover serious distance without wrestling the elements.
One practical note Riverly bases are usually inland (often France), so factor in ground transport from major airports like Paris or Lyon; it's rarely a quick hop, and you'll want to confirm transfer logistics before booking, as river bases aren't always as convenient as coastal ones for international travellers.

The marina & destination
Based at Grez-Neuville, in Grez-Neuville, France. Cruiser Premium 8/12 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
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.
