Maio - Docking
Visiting yachts are rare here and theft, not a problem.
There is a possible anchorage at Porto de Maio on the SW side of the island. Try to find a sandy patch to drop your anchor in.
This anchorage does suffer from a southerly swell making landing ashore a little tricky. There is long pier to the west of the anchorage that might make things a little easier.

Lovely island to visit. Worth making the stop. It has a very relaxed pace of life and amazing sandy beaches.
Very affected by southerly swell which can make it rolley and hard to land on the beach (We swam to shore but have a wooden tender).
It should also be possible to get to shore either at the stone steps to the east or the long jetty to the west.
The bottom is a mix of sand and rock so pick the spot to drop your anchor.
