SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families This 2020 Nicols is ideal for multi-generational groups or friends wanting a comfortable floating base on inland waterways, the 10-berth capacity and four cabins mean everyone gets reasonable privacy without premium yacht pricing.

Well-equipped interior The Premium+ spec ticks the boxes: air conditioning, heating, dishwasher, and a generator mean you're genuinely comfortable rather than "roughing it," while the bow thruster makes handling easier on tight river locks and narrow mooring spots.

Strong value proposition At €3,697/week with serious comfort kit included, this is genuinely competitively priced for a modern, eight-to-ten-person vessel, you're paying for space and livability, not luxury finishes, which suits practical charterers well.

One realistic note Riverly specializes in European river systems (typically France, Netherlands, Germany), so check the specific base location before booking: some bases are 2, 3 hours from major airports, and you'll need basic river-boat competence or be prepared for a brief induction, it's not as intuitive as a crewed charter.

The marina & destination

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

Why this is a great starting point

Saverne sits on the Marne-Rhine Canal in Alsace, offering easy access to France's inland waterway network rather than coastal cruising. Week 1 charters typically explore the canal system northward toward Strasbourg or westward into the Moselle valley, with locks and small towns punctuating a leisurely pace suited to first-time barge or canal boat hirers. This is a freshwater cruising base for those seeking medieval towns and vineyard landscapes rather than sea sailing.

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.
