What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for groups This 2022 Nicols is a smart choice for larger parties, 12 berths across 4 cabins means friends or multi-family trips won't feel cramped, and a motor boat removes sailing skill requirements entirely. Perfect if your crew includes non-sailors or anyone wanting a relaxed, hassle-free holiday.
Comfort-focused setup The flybridge gives you excellent outdoor entertaining space, while heating and on-board amenities like the coffee maker, ice maker, and barbecue grill suggest this boat prioritises creature comforts over bare-bones cruising. It's well-equipped for a leisurely pace along France's inland waterways, where the Anjou Navigation base sits.
Good value proposition For 12 people splitting costs, the per-person charter rate becomes very reasonable, especially with modern construction (2022 build) and a solid spec of included equipment. The €3,500 deposit is proportionate to boat size.
One caveat worth noting Motor boats on French rivers use fuel steadily and lack the "free" wind propulsion you'd get with a sailboat, so fuel costs can add up on longer journeys. Budget accordingly and confirm the fuel policy upfront with Anjou Navigation before booking.
