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 river explorers. The Nicols Sedan 1000 suits groups or families wanting a relaxed motorboat holiday on European inland waterways, think French rivers, Dutch canals, or similar networks. At 10 metres with three cabins sleeping up to 8, it's roomy enough without feeling cramped for a week's gentle cruising.
Solid comfort basics. Heating and a fridge are genuinely useful on inland routes where weather matters, and the radio-CD keeps morale up during longer cruising days. For a 2009 model, this is honest, unpretentious kit, nothing fancy, but everything that works tends to be there.
Strong value proposition. At this price point with that cabin count, you're getting decent bang for your buck compared to purpose-built charter fleets. A €3,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests the operator isn't running a tight ship on cancellation terms.
One practical note. We'd need to know your actual base location to advise on airport logistics, Riverly operates across multiple regions, so confirm which waterway you're booking and how close the nearest major international airport is. Some inland bases involve longer road transfers from major hubs, which matters if you're flying long-haul from the US or distant UK airports.

Based at Joigny, in Joigny, France. Cruiser Comfort 6/8 Pers. is operated by Riverly.
Joigny sits on the Yonne River in Burgundy, offering access to the quieter inland waterway network south towards Auxerre and the Nivernais Canal. From here, week 1 charters typically explore the locks and rural countryside of the Burgundy Canal system, with easy day-hops between small towns and wine villages. This is a low-speed, low-wind cruising ground best suited to clients seeking leisurely inland navigation rather than sailing; expect 4-5 knot cruising speeds and lock transits as the rhythm of your holiday.
