What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
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.

Where Charters Went
Yacht charter overnight stops in Corfu
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Corfu during the 2025 season. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Where charter yachts spent their nights
Sivota islands was the most common first night out, at 26% of trips with a recorded first night. On 76% of trips, the furthest point from base was within 20 to 40 nm, measured in a straight line.
