What KateBot thinks

Perfect for groups SISSI is a 2023 Lagoon 42 catamaran built for larger parties, six cabins sleep up to 12 people, making it ideal for family holidays or friends chartering together. The spacious dual-hull design means plenty of room to spread out without feeling cramped, which matters on longer trips.
Standout eco-features This boat punches above its weight with solar panels, water maker, and inverter, luxuries that let you cruise sustainably and reduce dependence on marinas for freshwater and power. The electric winches and autopilot make sailing considerably easier for mixed-ability crews, while the flybridge offers a social hub for the whole group.
Solid value proposition A newer catamaran with this cabin count and modern systems typically commands premium rates, but the €4,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests competitive daily pricing through Helm Yachting. You're getting a well-equipped 2023 boat with creature comforts (water maker, solar, proper galley kit) rather than a stripped-down charter workhorse.
One honest note At 12 metres, SISSI is mid-sized for a 42-footer, comfortable but not lavish for 12 guests on a two-week charter. Confirm the base location with Helm Yachting, as we don't have that detail here; factor in airport transfer time from your nearest major hub for accurate trip planning.

Where Charters Went
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Aeolian islands: Portorosa, Capo d'Orlando, Milazzo, Tropea and Reggio Calabria during the 2026 season so far. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Cala Junco appeared on 62% of trips, Porto di Levante on 57%, Santa Marina Salina on 51% and Stromboli Porto on 50%. Porto di Levante was the most common first night at 34% and last night at 16%. The furthest straight-line point from base was 40 to 60 nm on 53% of trips, and 92% fell in the Aeolian islands destination group.
