SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples and small groups. The Sofia suits 2–6 people looking for a comfortable, modern sailing experience without breaking the bank. Three cabins with six berths give everyone reasonable privacy on a week-long charter.

Well-equipped and thoughtful. Solar panels, electric toilet, a swimming platform, and bimini top show this 2022 Bavaria has been set up with real cruising comfort in mind. The sprayhood is a nice touch for day sailing in less-than-perfect weather.

Excellent value proposition. At €3,233 per week plus a modest €2,500 deposit, you're getting a nearly-new, fully-featured boat at a fair market rate. That works out to roughly €540 per person per week for a group of six—hard to beat.

One practical note. The operator (Tsirigotis) shows only one review at 4/5 stars, so there's limited public feedback to lean on; we'd recommend a direct call to confirm base location, check-in procedures, and whether English-speaking support is available, especially important if you're flying in from abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Can Sofia be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Sofia bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Sofia?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
