Nicols, River tourism at its best

A 100% French manufacturer and boat rental company...

Nicols was founded in July 1986, as part of the NADIA group, a specialist in the transformation of plastics. Within a few years, Nicols shipyard had become one of the leading French companies in the river tourism sector with 21 models of boat divided into 5 ranges.
Nicols develops its fleet in line with its customers' desires. Thanks to the unique location of its manufacturing site at the Cholet shipyard, right beside the rental office (booking department), every piece of information, remark, or suggestion from our customers is always passed on to our design department, with a view to constantly improving our models. This constant adaptability to the market is one of NICOLS' undoubted strengths.
At present, Nicols' fleet is comprised of almost 500 units originating from its shipyard in Cholet (Maine et Loire) and spread out over the 21 NICOLS departure bases (18 in France, 2 in Germany and 1 in Portugal).
