Who LATITUDE suits
LATITUDE provides a versatile platform for groups of up to 12 guests, with her 6 cabins ensuring privacy across the board. At 43.5 m, she accommodates a substantial party comfortably, supported by a dedicated crew of 7. Guests can enjoy time on the water using the waverunners and wakeboard, or relax on board with the jacuzzi on deck and the movie theatre. Her layout is well-suited for families or groups of friends who appreciate a mix of active pursuits and quiet downtime.
When positioned in the Sicily & Aeolian Islands, she sits at a length similar to other yachts in the area. Her guest count is more than the typical alternative, yet she maintains a build year similar to her peers. Prospective charterers will find her weekly rate similar to comparable vessels, making her a practical choice for those who value space and capacity without departing from the market standard for this class of motor yacht.
The best time to charter her is during the quieter months of May, June, September, and October, when the West Mediterranean, including the French Riviera and the Balearic Islands, offers steady winds and pleasant temperatures. While she is active from April through November, the settled weather of the mid-summer months provides reliable conditions for exploring the Amalfi Coast, Corsica & Sardinia, and Spain. Choosing the shoulder months allows for a more relaxed experience across her cruising grounds.

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.
