Each year, Riverly strengthens its commitment to river tourism that’s ever more respectful of local areas and nature.
Since 2025, 100% of the fleet directly operated by Riverly (formerly Locaboat and Nicols) has been converted to HVO fuel—hydrotreated vegetable oil that is biodegradable and renewable. This change has enabled us to reduce CO₂ emissions by 92%. As of 2026, 39 of our boats are hybrid-powered, and since 2018, we have also offered 2 electric boats in Alsace.
In 2026, four Riverly bases have already been awarded the Blue Flag eco-label, recognizing their high standards in sustainable tourism.
Continuing the initiatives started by Locaboat and Nicols, Riverly contributes to replanting trees along the Canal du Midi. To date, more than 19,000 trees have been replanted.
Maintenance of Riverly-operated boats is done using environmentally friendly cleaning products. 100% of the Riverly-owned fleet is equipped with onboard recycling bins, and waste sorting is available at all our bases.
