SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-range cruiser The Sun Odyssey 39i is a proven design that suits couples or small families wanting comfortable sailing without breaking the bank. At 11.7 metres with three cabins and room for eight, it balances liveable space with manageable handling for mixed-ability crews.

Smart practical touches Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll keep batteries topped up during lazy anchoring days, while the outboard engine handles tight marina work. The sprayhood and bimini are genuine comfort features for Mediterranean or Caribbean charters where sun and spray management matter.

Fair value proposition At €1,990 per week with only €1,800 deposit, this yacht offers decent bang for money, you're not paying luxury rates, but you're getting a reliable, well-equipped boat. Nautilia Yachting's track record suggests professional standards, though we'd recommend checking their base location for your flight logistics.

One realistic note A 2008 boat means she's 15+ years old; expect solid bones but budget extra for any unexpected maintenance during your charter. Confirm the exact base with Nautilia so you can plan your airport transfer time, that detail matters more than the yacht's age when you're flying international.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Marina, in Preveza, Greece. Sofia is operated by Nautilia Yachting.

Port of Preveza

Why this is a great starting point

Preveza Marina sits at the entrance to the Ionian Sea, making it ideal for charters heading north to the Paxi islands and Corfu or south toward the Peloponnese; week 1 typically covers the sheltered waters and small anchorages between Lefkada and the Albanian coast, with consistent northerly winds favoring an initial southbound passage. The marina's position on Greece's western coast offers quick access to some of the Ionian's most protected cruising grounds, including the Echinades islands and Meganisi, all reachable within a few hours under sail.

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.
