Sofija is a 2026 New 44 catamaran offering an ideal platform for exploring the crystalline waters of Istria, departing from Tehnomont Marina Veruda in Ližnjan. With six cabins and four ensuite bathrooms, this 13.26-metre vessel comfortably accommodates up to twelve guests, making it perfect for families seeking a week of Mediterranean sailing or groups of friends looking to charter together without compromise on space or comfort.

The catamaran's generous beam and dual-hull design create exceptional stability and a light, airy interior that feels more like a floating villa than a traditional yacht. The cockpit, finished in warm teak, becomes your social hub—shaded by a Bimini top and furnished with plush cushions, it's where mornings begin with fresh coffee and evenings unwind as the sun dips behind Istrian hilltowns. Below deck, air conditioning and heating ensure year-round comfort, while the well-equipped galley with refrigeration and modern appliances makes preparing meals a pleasure rather than a chore.

Sofija is engineered for both effortless cruising and confident exploration. Twin 57 hp engines deliver reliable performance, while electric winches and an autopilot reduce physical demands and fatigue—allowing you to focus on the experience rather than the mechanics. Solar panels and a generator provide abundant power, so you'll enjoy onboard television, climate control, and all modern conveniences without compromise. An included dinghy opens access to hidden coves and shallow anchorages inaccessible to larger vessels, while the catamaran's shallow draft lets you venture into intimate bays throughout the region.

A typical week aboard traces the Istrian coastline: mornings might find you anchored off Rovinj's terracotta rooftops, afternoons sailing to the Brijuni Islands' pine-fringed shores, and evenings gathered on the teak cockpit sharing local wines and grilled seafood under a canopy of stars. Whether you're seeking active sailing days or leisurely anchorages, Sofija delivers the space, comfort, and capability to make a week in Istria genuinely memorable.
