The classic way to sail: you feel the wind, the boat leans a little, and the skipper lets you take the helm if you want to try. For couples, friends and small groups.

Wider and steadier, with room to sit, dance and spread out the food, so bigger groups, hen and stag parties usually pick it. They mostly take 4 hours.

Hen and stag parties

Hen party with balloons on a white sailing yacht

Most hen and stag groups take the catamaran for 4 hours. You bring your own music and drinks (no red wine and no glass) or order catering on board, swim from the boat at your own risk, and can add a photographer or a live saxophonist. The round-trip transfer takes the whole group from Sofia and back.

Before you board

🚤
Getting on board
A short motorboat ride takes you from the shore to the boat. The skipper gives a safety briefing, and life jackets are on board.
👟
Shoes and clothes
Shoes stay ashore: most people sail barefoot, or bring clean trainers with white, non-marking soles. Bring sun cream, a hat and a light layer.
🚻
No toilet on board
Plan for that before you leave the shore. The weather on the reservoir is often different from Sofia, so check with us, not the city forecast.
🏊
Swimming and children
Swimming from the boat is at your own risk. Children are welcome with an adult who looks after them, and anyone with a health issue or pregnancy should tell the skipper.

Getting there

The boats sail on Iskar Reservoir, about 45 minutes by car from the centre of Sofia, depending on traffic. There is free and paid parking by the water. We send you the exact meeting point when we confirm, and a motorboat takes you out to your yacht or the catamaran. No car? Add the round-trip transfer in the calculator: by car, from any address in Sofia and back, €60 for up to 3 people, €120 up to 6, €200 up to 10 and €300 up to 19, paid in cash to the driver.
