The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
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.
Who it suits This Nicols is ideal for multi-generational or larger group getaways on inland waterways, think French rivers and canals where shallow draft matters more than open-water performance. At €1,980/week, it's accessible for families or friends looking to share costs across 8, 10 people without breaking the bank.
Standout features Four cabins on an 11.5-metre motor boat is genuinely spacious for a river cruiser, and the 10-berth capacity means you're getting genuine sleeping room rather than just theoretical numbers. The Nicols brand is well-respected for inland boat design, built for comfort rather than speed on canals and rivers.
Value perspective The price is competitive for weekly inland charter in this size and passenger capacity, especially if your group splits the cost. Low deposit (€3,000) is a genuine plus for cash-flow planning.
The reality check At 31 years old, you're chartering a vessel that was built in the early 1990s, expect solid reliability on calm waterways, but interior fittings and systems will show their age. Without knowing the exact base location, I'd recommend confirming airport transfer logistics once you book, as many inland operators sit 1, 2 hours from major international hubs.
