Description of Katrien's houseboats
Houseboat Nicols Sixto Estivale
The Nicols Sixto of the Estivale series was introduced in 2011. With its 3 spacious cabins, this pleasure boat (without a license) is perfect for 3 couples or for 2 couples and 2 children. Our Sixto is in new condition, year of construction 2019, is well equipped, with 2 central heating systems, super economical yet high-performance 80 hp engine. The aft deck, level with the living room, has a sun canopy for outdoor seating. There is a second helm, swim ladder and deck shower, just like on the other boats of the Estival series! Thanks to the bow and stern thruster, it is very easy to control the Sixto. SAILING ROUTES – A ROUND WESTHOEK Places/Cities: Nieuwpoort, Diksmuide, Ypres, Fintele, Veurne, Nieuwpoort.

Overall rating
We spent a wonderful week on the boat. The boat is in perfect condition, very clean and well equipped. Also Katrien and Luc are very nice persons. They gave us a lot of information and helpful advises. Thank you very much and see you next time!
We had a great time on this beautiful boat.
The previous history was already cordial and the reception all the better. Received a clear explanation and seen that it is a very spacious boat with all the luxury on board and a very spacious refrigerator which comes in handy at warm temperatures. A downside, the seat at the steering position has little legroom, but that did not spoil the fun. We already have plans for the next holiday and that will be the same but sail in the other direction and with the wife who could not be there this time. So Katrien fill the refrigerator again for the next holiday. It was a successful week, recommended to everyone. Dirk, Walter and Mieke.
