The série FLY is the latest addition to the Estivale series of Nicol's Yacht fleet. Ranging from 12.95 to 15 metres in length, the boats remain easy to steer thanks to the bow and stern propeller. The boats in the Fly range offer the best comfort on the market for river tourism without a licence! At 14.95 metres in length, the Nicols Octo Fly from the FLY range is the largest boat (or the 'flagship') of the Nicols shipyard. Possess a large fridge-freezer, hob, oven, microwave, television with satellite aerial, radio/CD/MP3, 220V socket, bow and stern thruster. With its large forward cabin equipped with numerous storage lockers and direct access to a private bathroom, it will delight boaters looking for a spacious and comfortable interior. This yacht has 4 cabins and 4 bathrooms with electric toilet. It has a spacious aft terrace, flush with the living area (access via a large sliding door) and is equipped with an awning if you need protection from the sun's rays! From here, there is access to the upper deck with: dining area + outdoor kitchen (sink, plancha grill) shaded by the bimini top, a second steering wheel on deck and two outdoor mattresses for lounging outdoors... Also aft is the classic port that allows wide access from a jetty to the terrace. But the Estivale range has its own "plus": two side doors, moulded into the hull, have been added to facilitate side descent of the boat. Very practical. As with the other boats in the FLY series, swimming enthusiasts will enjoy the swim ladder and deck shower... Do not wait any longer to cast off the mooring lines of this very special liveable boat, without a boating licence, with extraordinary features! HOLLAND Known for windmills, cheese, tulips and of course the rivers, the Netherlands is the perfect destination for a boating holiday! Captain a Nicols boat and discover picturesque towns and villages, art and history museums and the beautiful 'National Park Biesbosch'. The natural waters are great for swimming and, with bikes on board, you can of course enjoy the national pastime: cycling! Holland is also the ultimate experience for fishing enthusiasts! KERDRIEL is a great location to have a Nicols base, as the waters are not only calm and ideal for beginners to sail, they are also perfect for swimming and fishing. Surrounding the waterways is beautiful flora and fauna, including the national park "De Biesbosch" which is one of the largest in the Netherlands. The city of Gouda is famous for its tasty cheese, but even if you do not like cheese, we recommend a visit to explore the charming old town with its Sint-Lanskerk (famous for its impressive stained-glass windows), markets and bustling streets. Amsterdam is the largest city in the Netherlands and is criss-crossed by a network of canals. Visit museums for art (including Van Gogh), history and science and take time to just stroll the colourful streets for shops, restaurants, cafés and, of course, the famous Red Light District. Beautiful places to visit are certainly also Dordrecht, Heusden, Utrecht,'s-Hertogenbosch, Geertruidenberg, Gorinchem, Woudrichem, Gouda, Leerdam, Mook (Golden Ham). One of the many itineraries on offer will lead you and your crew to Maastricht - the city known as the origin of the European Union. Explore the many cultural and historical buildings, including the city walls and tower, before shopping in the streets lined with trendy designer shops.
