SOPHIE BLUE Yacht Description
Modernized classic platform. SOPHIE BLUE is a 41m CBI Navi motor yacht built in 1998 and refit in 2024, set up to sleep 10 guests in five suites for a comfortable, grown-up charter.
Real water access. The stern has a drop-down door that doubles as a private teak beach, so getting in and out of the sea is quick, dry, and not a daily gymnastics routine.
Deck time wins. There is a deck Jacuzzi when you want to do nothing efficiently, plus at-anchor stabilizers to keep things calmer while everyone is spread out on the sun deck and foredeck sunpads. Short version: less wobble, more lounging.
Toys for the active. A 5.4m Novurania tender handles shore runs, and the watersports kit covers the full “yes, we will tow you” range: Seabobs, a stand-up Jet Ski, sit-down waverunners, water skis, foilboard, plus banana and donut rides, snorkeling gear, and light fishing gear.
Accommodation
There are 8 heads in total, including 1 king, 1 queen, and 6 singles.Captain Only
The 40% APA covers all your expenses on board (food, drinks, fuel, transfers...), so if at the end of the charter you have not spent all the APA, you can choose to have the difference refunded to your account or leave it as a tip to the crew.What is the cabin arrangement of SOPHIE BLUE?

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like SOPHIE BLUE, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€21,250 - €34,000), making the charter cost €106,250 to €119,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
