What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups The Nicols Octo Fly 12 sleeps up to 12 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a longer charter. The 2023 build year means everything is fresh and reliable, which matters when you're flying internationally to get there.
Comfort-focused layout A flybridge, heating, and onboard entertainment (TV, coffee maker, ice maker) signal this isn't a bare-bones rental, it's geared toward relaxed cruising rather than serious sailing. The bow thruster and cockpit barbecue are genuine quality-of-life features that earn their place on a 15-meter motor boat.
Honest value question Without seeing the weekly rate, it's hard to judge value, but a four-cabin 2023 motor boat with those amenities typically sits mid-to-premium pricing. At 12 berths spread across four cabins, per-person cost could work out well if your group fills it.
One practical note Base location data is missing from what you've shared, so I can't advise on airport transfers, flight connections, or local logistics, those details matter a lot when you're traveling from the US or northern Europe. Ask Anjou Navigation directly about the base location and nearest international airport; that'll help you plan the full journey.
