For more than five decades, Nicols prides itself as an exceptional boat builder and holiday destination company. With a rising demand for river tourism, they offer a diverse collection of eye-catching vessels. The company started way back in 1986 as a Nadia group subsidiary. Then, they focused on plastic manufacturing. It was until years later that the company expanded to become one of the leading boating holidays service providers in France. At the moment, Nicols runs close to 20 naval bases within France.

Back in 1964 at Freeland, Frank Nichols left the family boat-making company known as Hood River Oregon. With his family, he moved to Whidbey Island and tried his hand on small boats. It was not easy to feed his11 children on the meager earnings from a growing business. However, he did not give up and involved the whole family in building boats for the clients.
