SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups The Moscow Mule is a spacious 5-cabin Dufour 520 that sleeps 11, making it ideal for larger groups or families wanting to spread out comfortably. At 15.2m, she's a manageable size for confident sailors without being cramped, and the 2019 build means modern systems throughout.
Well-equipped vessel This yacht comes nicely sorted with autopilot, bow thruster, chart plotter, and a sprayhood, all the essentials for comfortable cruising without surprises. The dinghy and SUP board add genuine flexibility for exploring anchorages, and basic creature comforts like a fridge keep morale high on longer charters.
Reasonable value overall The €3,500 deposit is sensible, and for a 5-cabin boat of this vintage and spec, the pricing sits fairly in the mid-market, you're not overpaying for age or underequipped. However, the operator rating is based on just one review, so you'll want to dig deeper into their track record or ask for references before booking.
One minor note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, which matters when you're flying internationally, I'd confirm airport proximity and whether Jonio Yachting offers pickup transfers before committing. That said, if the base suits your travel plans, this is a solid, capable boat for group sailing.

The marina & destination
Based at Poseidon Marina, in Milazzo, Italy. Moscow Mule is operated by Jonio Yachting.
Lungomare Garibaldi c.da vaccarella 1
Poseidon Marina in Milazzo sits on Sicily's northeast coast, offering immediate access to the Aeolian Islands; week one typically sees you exploring Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina with steady northwesterly winds favoring easy beam reaches. The marina's position also allows quick passages to the Tyrrhenian coast and provides shelter in the lee of Sicily when conditions turn, making it a reliable base for either island-hopping or longer coastal cruises. Clear water, volcanic anchorages, and established provisioning make this an efficient launchpad for first-time visitors to southern Italy.
