Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for couples. This 2022 Nicols motor cruiser suits two people or a small family wanting a relaxed inland waterway holiday without sailing skills required. The heating and air conditioning make it genuinely comfortable across seasons, which matters if you're flying from North America or central Europe to an unfamiliar climate.
Standout practical kit. The bow thruster is a real asset on a 12.9m boat, it makes tight locks and moorings genuinely stress-free, even for less experienced skippers. Having a generator on board means you're not tethered to shore power, which gives genuine flexibility on longer river explorations.
Strong value proposition. At €3,202 per week, you're looking at premium comfort on an inland waterway without the premium price tag of a larger gulet or sailboat. For a modern, well-equipped motor yacht with two cabins, this represents solid value, especially if you're chartering with children or prefer minimal physical demand.
One honest note: Motor cruisers on rivers are fundamentally different from coastal sailing, scenery is intimate and lovely, but you won't get that open-water feeling or the sense of true expedition that longer trips can offer. If you're expecting dramatic seascapes after a long-haul flight, manage that expectation beforehand.

Based at Saverne, in Saverne, France. Cruiser Premium+ 4/6 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
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.
