Perfect for groups This Nicols Octo is ideal for larger families or friends wanting a relaxed inland waterway holiday, it sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, so couples and small groups can share costs comfortably. The 2023 build means everything is modern and reliable.
Well-equipped cruiser You're getting genuine comfort here: air conditioning, heating, a dishwasher, generator, and bow thruster make life easy on the water, especially if you're new to boating. The bimini top and TV are nice touches for downtime between exploring.
Reasonable value proposition At this size and spec, the €4,500 deposit suggests competitive weekly pricing for a premium inland vessel, you're paying for newness and convenience rather than luxury, which is honest value if your group prioritizes space and ease over glamour. Split across 8, 10 people, per-person costs become genuinely attractive.
One practical note Riverly operates primarily on French rivers and canals, so factor in your flight to Paris or another European hub, then transfers to the charter base, that's a longer journey for North American clients than some Mediterranean options, though European visitors will find it straightforward.

The marina & destination
Based at Le Somail, in Le Somail, France. Cruiser Premium+ 8/10 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Allée de la Glacière
Le Somail sits on the Canal du Midi, making it ideal for a leisurely first week exploring France's most famous waterway; you can reach Carcassonne (about 50km east) or cruise west towards Toulouse and the Atlantic approaches. The canal offers lock-free, protected cruising at walking pace, perfect for charterers new to French waters or wanting to combine sailing with inland exploration. Week 1 typically involves mastering lock procedures and enjoying the region's wine villages and countryside rather than open-water sailing.
