Estivale Octo
The Estivale Octo, built by the Nicols shipyard since the late 2000s, is a spacious licence-free cruiser designed to comfortably accommodate two couples and four children or four couples, thanks to its four cabins and two large bathrooms. Its generous interior volumes and well-designed layout make it an ideal boat for a relaxing river cruise with family or friends.
Like all boats in the Estivale range, the Octo features a beautiful aft terrace, easily accessible from the saloon through a wide sliding glass door, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Equipped with a bow thruster, it makes mooring and lock manoeuvres easier while offering sleeping areas that provide a home-like level of comfort.
