Perfect for groups This 14.9-metre Nicols is a solid choice if you're chartering with 8, 10 people and want a motor boat that handles river and inland waterway cruising. The four cabins give everyone reasonable privacy, and the mix of mod-cons, air conditioning, heating, dishwasher, generator, means comfort year-round.
Standout comfort features The bow thruster is genuinely useful for tight mooring spots on European rivers, and having both air con and heating covers you whether you're exploring France's canals in summer or autumn. The bimini top keeps sun off the helm, which matters on long cruising days.
Fair value for families At this size and spec, you're looking at a well-equipped floating holiday home rather than a sleek sailing experience. The €4,500 deposit is reasonable, and running costs on inland waters are predictable, no fuel-guzzling ocean crossings here.
One honest note Motor boats on rivers can feel cramped after a week if your group doesn't gel; there's limited outdoor space compared to a larger yacht. Also, river cruising demands patience with locks and low bridges, it's slower and more methodical than open-water sailing, which suits some groups perfectly and frustrates others.

The marina & destination
Based at Port Lauragais, in Avignonet-Lauragais, France. Cruiser Premium+ 8/10 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Port Lauragais is an inland marina on the Canal de Garonne, part of the Canal des Deux-Mers linking the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. Week 1 cruising typically covers the 60km stretch between Toulouse and Sete, passing through the Cammarate locks and into the Etang de Thau lagoon; the relatively flat terrain and predictable lock schedules suit first-time canal sailors. This base works best for clients wanting a slower-paced inland cruise with cultural stops at medieval towns rather than coastal sailing.
