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 or small families wanting a relaxed inland waterway adventure rather than open-water sailing. The Nicols Riviera 920 is a classic European river cruiser, ideal if you're exploring French canals, Dutch waterways, or similar systems where you need straightforward motoring rather than serious sailing.
Honest standout features: At 9.2 metres, she's manageable for first-time skippers, with heating for cooler months and basic creature comforts (fridge, radio-CD). The two-cabin layout genuinely sleeps four comfortably or eight at a squeeze, realistic only if you're bringing kids or don't mind tight quarters.
Value assessment: At 1988 vintage, you're paying for simplicity and proven reliability on inland routes, not luxury. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable and suggests modest daily rates, good value if your holiday centres on relaxed canal cruising rather than coastal sailing or speed.
One real caveat: No navigational or safety kit details are listed, and older river boats sometimes have quirky plumbing or heating systems that catch people off guard. Before booking, confirm what's actually included, life jackets, charts, engine spares, and whether Riverly (the operator) offers decent briefing for international guests unfamiliar with inland boating.

Sucé-sur-Erdre is a river marina situated on the Erdre, a tributary of the Loire near Nantes in western France. From here you can cruise downstream to the Loire estuary and access the Atlantic coast within a day or two, with week 1 typically involving gentle river navigation to coastal towns like Saint-Nazaire or pushing south towards the Vendée; the Erdre itself offers peaceful inland cruising through Nantes if you prefer protected waters.
