Canal Boat Estivale Sixto GREEN
In 2018 Nicols boat builders created the first ever fully electric canal boat – ready to revolutionise the world of boating holidays! Zero emissions means no pollution while no noise from the canal boat adds to the environmental benefits of the boat. The Sixto Green is currently available in the Alsace at Saverne.

Your boat No previous experience needed
The benefits of the Sixto Green:
- Enjoy a holiday knowing there is no pollution thanks to zero emission propulsion.
- The completely silent motor means the only sounds you’ll hear are those of rippling water and birdsong.
- Charging the boat battery is quick and easy thanks to the efficient lithium-ion batteries. Get a full charge in just the time it takes to enjoy your lunch! Charging stations are located along your route - on average every 11km.
The Sixto Green, another of our Estivale range of canal boats, has an identical layout to the standard Sixto model. It has three cabins and an additional bed in the living area by converting the sofa and table so is great for crews of three couples or two couple and two children. Those onboard will enjoy the spacious living areas and panoramic views on offer from the large windows. A well-equipped kitchen, a TV and radio/CD/MP3 player complete the equipment whilst outside a rear terrace and roof deck mean you can make the most of the sun!
