The Nicols Octo Fly 12 is a motor boat from Nicols. Founded in 1986 at Cholet in the Loire valley. It specialises in licence-free canal cruisers in glass-reinforced plastic, which it both builds and charters itself on French and European waterways. The hull measures about 15 metres. It sleeps up to 12.
Adriavela lists 4 boats of this model. They were built between 2022 and 2023, so the layout and the equipment differ from one hull to the next. The hulls here carry 4 cabins and 8 to 12 berths.
They leave from Grez-Neuville and Sablé-sur-Sarthe. A 7-day charter starts at €2,898, which is €414 a day. Under power the day is planned by distance rather than by wind, which suits a group working through a lot of coast in a week.
