SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families This Nicols Octo is a genuinely spacious motor boat built for groups who want comfort without complexity, think multi-family holidays or friends splitting costs. The 10-berth capacity and four cabins mean everyone gets reasonable privacy, which matters on a week-long charter.

Well-equipped inland cruiser At 14.9m, it's designed for river and canal systems rather than open water, so you'll enjoy calm, scenic routes (likely the Loire Valley, Burgundy, or similar European waterways). Creature comforts like air conditioning, heating, dishwasher, and a generator elevate it beyond basic barges, this feels like a floating holiday home, not a budget option.

Solid value proposition €4,102 per week for a 10-person boat works out roughly €410 per person; add the €4,500 deposit, and it's genuinely competitive for a 2021 boat with modern amenities. You're paying for comfort and space, not speed or luxury.

Modest caveat Motor boats on inland waterways require basic navigation skills and a license depending on your charter location, confirm those requirements before booking. Also, "Cruiser Premium+ 8/10 Pers" suggests it sleeps 10 at full capacity, which can feel snug; if comfort matters more than headcount, treat it as an 8-person boat.

The marina & destination

Based at Dole, in Dole, France. Cruiser Premium+ 8/10 Pers. is operated by Riverly.

Why this is a great starting point

I don't have reliable information about a marina called Dole in France that serves as a yacht charter starting point. Dole is a historic town in the Jura region, inland from the coast, so I cannot confidently describe it as a marine destination or detail nearby cruising grounds. Please verify the marina name and location. If you meant a different French marina (such as one on the Atlantic coast, Mediterranean, or English Channel), I'd be happy to write an accurate summary.

Frequently asked questions
Can Cruiser Premium+ 8/10 Pers. be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Cruiser Premium+ 8/10 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+ 8/10 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.
