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 2022 Nicols is built for larger parties wanting inland waterway comfort, up to 8 berths across 3 cabins mean no one's squeezed in, and the generous 14.9m length gives real living space. It's a solid motor boat for exploring European river systems at a relaxed pace.
Comfort-focused cruising The Cruiser Premium+ specification delivers the essentials: air conditioning and heating for year-round cruising, a dishwasher to dodge galley fatigue, and a bow thruster that makes tight mooring spaces manageable. These touches add genuine convenience for multi-week trips on inland waterways.
Sensible value proposition At this size and spec with modern 2022 build quality, the pricing sits fair for what you're getting, particularly if your group can split costs across 6, 8 people. The €4,500 deposit is reasonable for a boat this size, though I'd confirm the weekly charter rate with Riverly before booking.
One genuine heads-up Motor boats on European rivers mean slower speeds and fuel costs compared to sailing; verify fuel consumption and whether it's included or charged separately, as that can shift the final budget for longer charters. Also confirm the base location with Riverly, they operate multiple sites, to check airport transfer logistics from your arrival airport.

Allée de la Glacière
Le Somail sits on the Canal du Midi, making it ideal for a leisurely first week exploring France's most famous waterway; you can reach Carcassonne (about 50km east) or cruise west towards Toulouse and the Atlantic approaches. The canal offers lock-free, protected cruising at walking pace, perfect for charterers new to French waters or wanting to combine sailing with inland exploration. Week 1 typically involves mastering lock procedures and enjoying the region's wine villages and countryside rather than open-water sailing.
