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 groups This Nicols Sedan is built for larger parties, four cabins sleeping up to 10 makes it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs and explore together. It's a proper motor cruiser, so no sailing experience needed.
Solid river cruiser At 11.5 metres, it's manageable enough for inland waterways but spacious enough to feel comfortable for a week-long trip. The 2009 build means it's proven and reliable, with the practical layout you'd expect from Nicols' well-designed range.
Good value proposition A €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and splitting costs across 8, 10 people makes per-person spend very competitive for a week afloat. Motor boats eliminate the learning curve, so you're paying for comfort and convenience rather than skill.
Watch the base location The charter base isn't listed here, which matters hugely, some Riverly locations are in remote French rivers requiring lengthy transfers from major airports, while others are better connected. I'd confirm exactly where you're departing from and factor in travel time before booking, especially if flying intercontinentally.

Based at Saverne, in Saverne, France. Cruiser Comfort 8/10 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.
