23 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention — ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter; on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Who It Suits. Sofia Y works well for established boaters comfortable with older motor yachts, or groups prioritising Cycladic island hopping over cutting-edge interiors. At 30 metres, you'll have decent space across four cabins without the crew requirements of larger vessels.
Standout Features. The Baglietto name carries genuine pedigree in Italian yacht building, and this 2003 build should deliver solid mechanics and decent sea-keeping for the region. A zero deposit requirement is genuinely useful; it removes financial friction for many charterers.
Value For Money. At roughly 80,000 euros weekly, you're paying mid-range pricing for a two-decade-old motor yacht in a popular Cycladic base; that's neither bargain nor premium. Ornos Bay puts you minutes from Mykonos Airport, which suits international clients well, though you're anchored in one of Greece's pricier islands rather than quieter alternatives.
One Honest Caveat. A 2003 motor yacht demands honest scrutiny around engines, systems, and interior condition; the listing gives no technical details, so push the operator hard on recent refit work, engine hours, and whether depreciation shows through wear. Request recent survey reports and specific photos before committing.

Based at Ornos bay, Greece. Sofia Y is operated by YAL'OOU L.P..
Ornos is a sheltered bay on Mykonos offering good holding in sand and mud, making it a reliable base for island-hopping through the central Cyclades. Week 1 typically takes you south to Delos and Rhenia for anchorages, then west to Paros and Antiparos where you'll find stronger winds and better provisioning; northbound options include the shorter hop to Tinos. The bay itself provides protection from the meltemia (summer northerlies) that dominate the region, though you'll experience these winds on passage between islands and may find them challenging on exposed southern routes.
