SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families This 2023 Nicols Octo is an excellent choice if you're looking to explore European inland waterways with a larger group—up to 12 guests across four cabins with eight proper berths. The modern motor boat design prioritizes comfort and ease of handling, making it ideal for mixed-ability groups or those new to boating.

Solid comfort features You get genuine conveniences here: heating for shoulder-season cruising, a generator for power, bow thruster for tight locks and moorings, and air-con (implied by the 2023 build standard). The Bimini top protects from sun during long cruising days, while the electric toilet and full galley setup mean less faffing about with basic amenities.

Good value proposition At this size and specification, the €3,500 deposit is reasonable and suggests competitive daily rates through Riverly. You're paying for a well-equipped, newish vessel that handles the practical demands of river cruising without unnecessary luxury markup.

One practical note Inland waterway boats trade headroom and cabin space for shallow draft and maneuverability—expect cozy rather than sprawling cabins. This works brilliantly for families or friends taking turns on deck, but less so if everyone wants guaranteed privacy or if anyone struggles with confined spaces on multi-day stretches.

Frequently asked questions
Can Cruiser Premium 8/12 Pers. be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Cruiser Premium 8/12 Pers. bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Cruiser Premium 8/12 Pers.?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
