Who BEST MOUNTAIN suits
With accommodation for 6 guests across 3 cabins, BEST MOUNTAIN is tailored for families or close-knit parties seeking a relaxed cruise. A crew of 2 oversees life on board this 24 m Leopard motor yacht, which was built in 2005 and refitted in 2017. Guests can spend leisurely afternoons relaxing on her sun deck, keeping comfortable inside with air conditioning, or taking to the sea on the standup jet ski and wakeboard.
Against comparable yachts cruising Sicily & Aeolian Islands, she aligns closely with expectations across the board. BEST MOUNTAIN presents a similar length to alternatives in the area and carries the same guest count. Her build year sits close to the regional average for this peer group, and her weekly rate is similarly matched.
The best time to plan a charter aboard her runs from May to October across the West Mediterranean. July and August deliver warm sunshine and gentle breezes along the Amalfi Coast and the Balearic Islands, though anchorages are at their busiest. Those seeking quieter moments around Corsica & Sardinia or Sicily & Aeolian Islands will appreciate May, June, September, and October, when cruising grounds are calmer and winds remain steady.

Cruising Sicily & the Aeolian Islands: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The charter season runs from May to October. July and August bring settled, warm weather and light breezes, but anchorages and ports are crowded. May, June, September, and October offer quieter cruising grounds with pleasant temperatures and steady westerly or northwesterly winds. Scirocco winds from the south-east can develop occasionally, generating uncomfortable swells in exposed southern anchorages, while late summer can bring isolated afternoon squalls.
Practical tips
- Anchoring restrictions and exclusion zones are established by Capitaneria di Porto ordinances rather than a regional marine park; consult local maritime notices before dropping anchor.
- Milazzo, the usual departure port for the Aeolian Islands, is about 2 hours by road from Catania; Palermo's marinas are about 35 minutes from Palermo airport.
- Stock primary provisions at base marinas in Milazzo or Palermo, as island supermarkets on Salina and Lipari have smaller inventories and limited dockside access.
Anchorages to know
- Cala degli Zimmari (Panarea)This sandy bay south of Panarea offers secure holding in northwesterly winds, serving as an authorised anchorage near restricted Cala Junco.
- Porto Pignataro (Lipari)Located north of Lipari town, this sheltered harbour provides marina berths and safe holding, alternative to the restricted waters of Marina Corta.
- Pollara (Salina)A circular bay beneath volcanic cliffs on Salina's western coast, providing sheltered day anchorage over sand and rock in calm summer conditions.
- Sciara del Fuoco (Stromboli)Yachts can drift offshore in deep water to observe Stromboli's nocturnal eruptions, adhering to local maritime authority exclusion distances.
