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.
Perfect for river families This 2021 Nicols motor boat suits groups wanting a hassle-free inland waterway holiday, think French canals, Dutch rivers, or similar, without the open-water complexity of sailing. The 6, 8 berth capacity makes it ideal for extended family trips or two couples travelling together.
Well-equipped comfort vessel The air-con, heating, dishwasher, and generator mean you're living fairly comfortably on the water rather than roughing it; the bow thruster helps with tight canal lock manoeuvres too. At nearly 15 metres, it's roomy enough that people aren't constantly bumping elbows, which matters on a week-long trip.
Solid weekly value At roughly €3,800 per week for up to 8 people, the nightly cost per person is genuinely competitive for this standard of comfort and space, especially if you're splitting costs among friends or family. Fuel costs matter on a motor boat (unlike sailing), so budget accordingly depending on your planned distance.
One real limitation The operator information is missing from your data, so I can't confirm mooring locations, fuel policies, or whether English-speaking support is available, all crucial for international charterers flying in from the US or UK. Before booking, verify the base location and check that the operator offers proper pre-arrival guidance and emergency contact support in English.

Based at Saverne, in Saverne, France. Cruiser Premium+ XL 6/8 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.
