Trade the city noise for the sound of wind and water. Just 30 minutes from Sofia, Iskar Reservoir offers one of the most unexpected experiences in Bulgaria — sailing on a classic yacht or catamaran, surrounded by nature, with nothing on the agenda except enjoying the moment. Whether it's a romantic sunset cruise for two, a hen or stag party on the catamaran, or a relaxed afternoon sail with friends — we have the perfect vessel and package for your group.

⛵ Choose Your Vessel

Two completely different experiences — one stunning location. Our classic sailing yachts are intimate, elegant, and perfect for couples, small groups, or anyone who wants the authentic sailing experience on Iskar. The Catamaran One Love is a wider, more social vessel with teak deck, sun loungers, and deck tables — built for groups, parties, and those who want more space to move, celebrate, and enjoy.

🥂 Your Party, Your Rules

You're free to bring your own food and drinks on board — no restrictions, no extra charges. Only red wine is not permitted, and glass cups are best left ashore. Or let us handle the catering: a full spread of gourmet bites, wines, prosecco, beer, and soft drinks for €25 per person. Add a live saxophonist (€200) or a professional photo and video package (from €140) to make the day truly unforgettable.

🌅 Sofia's Best-Kept Secret

Most tourists in Sofia never discover Iskar Reservoir — and that's exactly what makes it special. Just 30 minutes from the city centre, the reservoir stretches through a quiet valley with mountain views and calm water. Whether you're watching the sunset with someone special or celebrating the groom with fifteen friends on the catamaran deck, this is the experience you'll still be talking about years later.

 FAQ +
Do I need sailing experience?
None at all — a qualified skipper handles all the sailing. You just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes — you're welcome to bring anything you like. The only restriction is red wine. Glass cups are best left ashore for safety reasons.
Do I need to wear shoes on board?
No outdoor shoes allowed on deck. Go barefoot (recommended in summer) or bring a clean pair of white-soled, non-marking sneakers to change into before boarding.
Is there a toilet on board?
There is no toilet on board — please keep this in mind before departure.
What should I wear?
Dress according to the weather. Don't rely on Sofia's forecast — the microclimate at Iskar Reservoir is quite different. When in doubt, bring a light layer and call us before you come.
Is swimming allowed?
Swimming in the reservoir is at your own risk. Life jackets are provided and must be worn on board — your skipper will brief everyone before departure.
Are children welcome?
Yes — children are welcome when accompanied by a responsible adult, who takes full responsibility for the child's safety and behaviour on board.
What if the weather changes?
We monitor specialist forecasts specifically for Iskar Reservoir — not Sofia or Samokov, as the microclimate differs significantly. If conditions become unsafe, we will contact you to reschedule.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations less than 48 hours before — 50% charge. Cancellations within 12 hours or no-shows — 100% charge.
Is there parking at the marina?
Yes — both free and paid parking are available on site. Call us when you arrive and we'll guide you.
Can I book a surprise?
Absolutely — surprises can be planned in advance and tailored to the occasion. Just let us know when you enquire.

What to expect: Your Sailing Timeline

1

Arrive at the Marina

Find us at Iskar Reservoir — free and paid parking on site. Call us on arrival and we'll guide you straight to your vessel.

2

Welcome on Board

Step aboard, meet your skipper, and attend the safety briefing. Change into deck shoes or go barefoot. The vessel is ready — and so is the water.

3

Cast Off

The sail goes up, the shore falls behind, and the only thing ahead is open water, mountain views, and whatever the next few hours bring. This is the moment most tourists in Sofia never discover.

4

Back to Shore

Return to the marina with that rare, sun-warmed feeling that only water can give you. Sunset optional — highly recommended.
