Nicols Confort 1100 Flybridge And Three Ensuite Cabins

This Nicols 1100 Confort is powered by a Nanni N4/38 diesel engine, a well-known and reliable unit for inland cruising. Delivering 33.12 kW, it provides smooth, economical propulsion—ideal for gentle canal navigation and effortless manoeuvring through locks. Access to the engine compartment is straightforward, making routine checks easy to perform.

The electrical system is equally reassuring, equipped with four batteries in total: three 100 Ah service batteries installed in April 2023, and a 95 Ah engine battery recently replaced in May 2025. This setup offers comfortable autonomy for everyday onboard systems, while the 220 V shore power connection ensures reliable energy supply when moored. The boat is also fitted with a 2000 W inverter providing 220 V while cruising, along with a solar panel that helps maintain battery charge during moorings and extended stops

Overall, the mechanical and electrical installations are simple, practical and perfectly suited to the easy-living philosophy of the Nicols range.

Built by the French shipyard Nicols, this 1100 Confort features a solid monolithic GRP hull, easy to maintain and well suited to inland waterways. Its shallow, nearly flat bottom provides excellent stability and access to the shallower parts of the canal network. The interior is moulded in reinforced modules, adding rigidity and contributing to good sound insulation throughout the vessel.

Stepping aboard this Nicols 1100 Confort, you immediately notice how spacious and well-designed the interior is for a boat of just over eleven metres. The layout has been created to offer generous living spaces: three comfortable cabins, three washrooms—including two with WC—and a bright saloon of around 10 m² where the headroom reaches approximately two metres. The overall impression is one of light, openness and easy circulation, making life on board both pleasant and practical.

At the bow, the forward cabin features a 150 x 190 cm double berth with a headroom of around 185 cm. Midships, the second cabin offers a 130 x 190 cm double berth and enjoys a comfortable headroom of about 190 cm. The aft cabin is particularly spacious, equipped with a 135 x 190 cm double berth alongside a 90 x 190 cm single berth, all with an attractive headroom of approximately 190 cm—ideal for a couple, a small family or visiting guests.

The saloon, covering roughly 10 m², is bathed in natural light thanks to large side windows. The sofa converts into an additional berth when needed, and single-level access to the aft terrace enhances the feeling of openness and indoor–outdoor living.

The sanitary facilities are distributed with real practicality in mind: two complete washrooms with shower, washbasin and WC, plus an additional independent washroom (shower + basin) and a separate WC, allowing everyone on board to maintain comfort and privacy.

The galley is fully equipped and perfectly suitable for extended stays aboard. It includes a 220-litre refrigerator with a generous freezer compartment, a two-burner gas hob, a gas oven, a stainless-steel sink and plenty of storage—ideal for preparing meals during longer cruises.

Navigation can be enjoyed from either the interior helm, which offers excellent panoramic visibility, or the exterior helm on the upper terrace. This dual-helm configuration allows you to make the most of the scenery in all weather conditions.
