"Sofijas laivas" is a Šēferi family company. Since 2007 the main business is canoe and other boat rental in Kurzeme.

The company's base is not far from Liepāja, but with the help of a support point it provides canoes on all popular rivers in Kurzeme: the Barta, Venta, Irbe, Abava, Tebra-Saka, Durbe-Saka, as well as routes on Liepāja and Pape lakes and the Liepāja Fortress Canal. And not only... the company thinks the small rivers of Kurzeme are fascinating, so it also recommends rivers like the Rīva, Vārtāja and Alokste, as well as one of the most beautiful rivers in Lithuania - the Minija.
