Who it suits This 11.5-metre Nicols is ideal for larger groups or families wanting a relaxed inland waterway holiday rather than coastal sailing—think European river cruising with minimal fuss. It's perfect if you've got 6–10 people and want shared costs without the learning curve of sailing.

Standout features Four cabins and 10 berths give genuine sleeping space for bigger parties, and as a motor boat, there's no sailing skill needed. Built-in heating is a practical touch for shoulder-season river trips, especially on northern European waterways where these vessels typically operate.

Value for money At this spec and age (2008), the €3,000 deposit is reasonable, though daily rates will ultimately determine value. Motor boats on European rivers tend to offer good bang-for-buck compared to coastal sailing charters, since fuel and mooring costs are predictable and the boat handles itself.

One honest note Without knowing the specific river base location, I can't advise on airport access or whether you'd need a connecting flight from a major hub. Check with Riverly whether your charter base has English-speaking staff and reliable transfer options from the nearest international airport—that matters more than the boat itself when you're flying long-haul.

The marina & destination

Based at Amieira Marina, in Amieira, Portugal. Cruiser Comfort 8/10 Pers. is operated by Riverly.

Can Cruiser Comfort 8/10 Pers. be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Cruiser Comfort 8/10 Pers. bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Cruiser Comfort 8/10 Pers.?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
