About this yacht
Sofia D is an elegant 24-meter Ferretti 76 motor yacht that combines Italian craftsmanship with contemporary comfort, making her an ideal choice for discerning travelers seeking the superyacht experience in the Mediterranean. Built in 2004 and comprehensively refitted in 2023, she has been meticulously maintained to the highest standards while preserving the timeless design principles of her naval architect, Zuccon. The yacht's 2023 refit ensures that guests benefit from modernized systems and amenities without sacrificing the character and proven seaworthiness that define the Ferretti brand.
The Sofia D accommodates nine guests across four well-appointed cabins: one master suite, one VIP cabin, and two twin cabins, each designed for maximum comfort during extended cruising. With a professional crew of four dedicated to hospitality and seamless operations, she delivers the personalized service expected aboard a luxury charter vessel. The yacht's twin 1500-horsepower MTU engines provide a cruising speed of 24 knots and maximum speed of 30 knots, offering both efficient passage-making and the agility to explore Greece's most remote anchorages and hidden coves.
Outdoor living is central to the Sofia D experience. Her signature flybridge features a retractable soft bimini, providing flexible shelter while preserving unobstructed views across the Aegean. The main deck aft offers a generously proportioned dining area for leisurely al fresco meals—quintessential Mediterranean entertaining. Throughout the vessel, air conditioning and complimentary WiFi ensure modern convenience alongside traditional yacht comfort.
The water sports program reflects the yacht's purpose-built charter credentials. A Novurania tender with 40-horsepower Yamaha engine provides tender independence, while the full complement of toys—including jet ski, Seabob, inflatable SUP, kayak, water skis, wakeboard, and snorkeling equipment—caters to active guests and families. This versatile collection enables exploration of shallow lagoons and secluded beaches impossible for larger vessels to access.
Sofia D operates throughout the Mediterranean with particular strength in Greek waters, including the Ionian Islands, Cyclades, Dodecanese, and East Mediterranean. Based in Athens, she is ideally positioned for multi-island itineraries and extended Aegean explorations. Whether you seek a family adventure combining relaxation with water sports, a romantic escape to secluded anchorages, or a sophisticated gathering in one of Greece's premier island destinations, the Sofia D charter experience delivers authentic Mediterranean hospitality. Weekly rates begin at €26,000, with professional crew included to ensure your voyage is both seamless and memorable.

What is included in the charter rate for Sofia D?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 4, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for Sofia D before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter Sofia D?+
Sofia D charters from €28,000 per week in low season and €31,000 in high season — a difference of about 11% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
