What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for larger groups Sophie is an excellent choice if you're chartering with family or friends, six cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. The 2025 build guarantees modern systems and minimal maintenance headaches during your week.
Well-equipped catamaran You get the essentials that matter: water maker and generator for self-sufficiency, air conditioning for hot climates, electric winches to reduce physical effort, and a water toys package (dinghy included). The teak cockpit and speakers suggest Zen Yachting pays attention to comfort details.
Solid value proposition At €5,441 per week for a brand-new six-cabin cat, this is competitive pricing, especially with a water maker and genset already factored in. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a yacht this size.
One practical note Zen Yachting currently has just one review on the platform, so you're betting on a newer operator. Check directly with them about their backup support protocols and whether English-speaking crew or base staff are available, important if you're flying in from the US or Northern Europe and need quick assistance.
