CASTRES Estivale Octo

This boat is available in October 2024 & can be visited at the NICOLS base in Le Somail (Département 11/ Languedoc-Roussillon).

The Octo from the Nicols Estivale range of boats has four spacious cabins. It’s ideal for crews of either four couples or three couples with two children.
The Octo canal boat, at 13.50 metres in length offers a great feeling of spacious accommodation.
The bright living area offers a panoramic view of your surroundings and at the back of a boat is a deck space with canopy, great for alfresco dining. There is also a small deck terrace at the front of the boat which is ideal for sunbathing.
The kitchen offers a remarkable amount of equipment – a large fridge, hob and oven whilst there is also a radio/CD/MP3 player and connectivity to shore power supply of 220 volts.
Outside is a second steering position on the top deck and a swim ladder and deck shower as with all of our Estivale range of canal boats. Another benefit of this model of canal boat are bow thrusters for easy manoeuvring.

Mooring your boat,
Wintering with repairs, etc.
Fitting additional equipment
Obtaining your licence

After Sales Service / Spare parts:
Since NICOLS® is a builder and charterer, we have a warehouse within our boatyard containing spare parts and other accessories. We remain at your disposal at all times to offer you advice and services.

The annual maintenance budget:
The fact that NICOLS® boats are designed with a polyester hull means they have a very low maintenance budget; their simple, practical and rational design, originally created for charter, also contributes to this low maintenance cost.

As an owner, you should plan to have your boat serviced on land every 3 to 4 years. Other than that, in the same way as a car, it is a question of ongoing maintenance (oil change).
