Who LUCIEN suits
LUCIEN is a 40 m motor yacht well-suited for groups seeking a comfortable base for their travels. With 12 guests accommodated across 6 cabins and a crew of 7, she provides ample space for socialising or relaxation. Guests can enjoy the foilboard, a jacuzzi on deck, the outdoor bar, and the swim platform, which combine to create a balanced environment for time spent on the water.
When positioned in the Sicily & Aeolian Islands, she sits close to the typical length for comparable yachts in the area. She takes a couple more guests than those alternatives, while her build year and weekly rate remain similar to the yachts she is measured against. This configuration allows for a practical arrangement for parties who value cabin count without moving away from the standard specifications found in this region.
The seasons for LUCIEN span the East Mediterranean, West Mediterranean, Middle East, Balearic Islands, Campania, Corsica & Sardinia, French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, Lazio, North Africa, Sicily & Aeolian Islands, South of France, Spain, and Tuscany. May, June, September, and October represent the time for cruising when temperatures are pleasant and winds are steady. During these months, the anchorages are quieter than in July and August, allowing for a more relaxed pace throughout the itinerary.

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.
