Who SAGA ONE suits
Measuring 27 m, SAGA ONE is a Leopard motor yacht well suited to family holidays or relaxed escapes with friends. She welcomes eight guests across four comfortable cabins, supported by a crew of three. Built in 2008 and refitted in 2020, she ensures cool relaxation indoors with air conditioning after active days. For recreation out on the water, guests can head out on a standup jet ski, paddle the kayak around quiet bays, or enjoy the towable tube.
When cruising Sicily & Aeolian Islands, she aligns comfortably with comparable options in the region. Her length sits close to the typical standard for yachts in the area, and she accommodates the same number of guests as competing alternatives. In addition, her build year is similar to matching craft, and her weekly rate is also similar, presenting an expected balance of space, vintage, and pricing.
The best time to step aboard SAGA ONE across the West Mediterranean spans from May to October. July and August deliver settled, warm weather for swimming in places like Corsica & Sardinia or the Balearic Islands, though anchorages fill quickly. For unhurried itineraries, May, June, September, and October provide pleasant temperatures and far quieter waters throughout the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany.

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.
