Who YAKOS suits
At 21.3 m, YAKOS accommodates seven guests across three cabins, looked after by a crew of two. Built by Maiora in 2007, this motor yacht suits families or small groups of friends seeking an intimate escape on the water. Her interior spaces benefit from air conditioning for comfort during warmer days, while her collection of water sports includes an adult windsurfer and a towable tube for active afternoons at anchor.
When measured against comparable options cruising Sicily & Aeolian Islands, she holds an appealing position. Her length sits close to the typical fleet standard, and her build year aligns with similar vessels in the region. She accommodates more guests than most alternatives of her size, making her particularly practical for family parties, while her weekly rate remains closely aligned with the local market.
For charters in the West Mediterranean and Sicily & Aeolian Islands during her summer 2027 season, the best time to embark is July or August for warm weather and gentle breezes. Those who favour quieter anchorages may prefer May, June, September, or October, when the cruising conditions stay pleasant. She also remains accessible during winter 2026 across both Sicily & Aeolian Islands and the West Mediterranean.

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.
