Egadi islands from Palermo - Sicily sailing vacation

Check-in at 5pm in Palermo the capital city of Sicily and a popular sailing destination. After a short briefing dinner and nigh on board.

Breakfast on board and route to San Vito Lo Capo, navigation along the coast to the Riserva dello Zingaro up to San Vito Lo Capo, a fishing port that has become a pleasant tourist resort with its characteristic long sandy beach. You will go ashore with the tender for an aperitif, dinner or even just a walk in the village. Overnight at anchor in the bay of San Vito Lo Capo.

In the morning we'll set up sails to Favignana, the largest of the islands, with its characteristic butterfly shape. The name derives from the construction stone, called Favignana, which is extracted from the tuff quarries. Once you arrive, you will stop for a dip and relax in Cala Rossa, a symbolic cove of the island, which offers both rocks and sand set in a sea that embraces shades ranging from blue to light blue. For the evening you will enter the port where you can go down comfortably in the main village of the island.

We circumnavigate Favignana with a stop in Cala Pozzo or Cala Rotonda. Navigation to Marettimo (about 3 hours) and arrival in the late afternoon in the furthest of the Egadi islands, Marettimo. Thanks to its remoteness, the rugged nature of the mountain and the low human impact on the environment, it preserves a very precious vegetative and faunal heritage, where unique Mediterranean species have been able to live. We will go down with the tender to visit the village and if you want to dine in its renowned restaurants and taste the soup with Egadi lobster. Overnight at anchor in the Bay of Porticciolo di Marettimo.

Marettimo, a walk on the ground in the wild island dominated by Monte Falcone is full of beautiful natural caves, famous for excursions along the paths that lead to the ruins of Roman houses and a marine reserve. We set up sails to Punta Troia to see the recently restored Castle of Punta Troia. Lunch on board and in the late afternoon we'll sail to the small town of Levanzo. Levanzo (in Sicilian Lèvanzu) is made up of white limestone rocks that have numerous caves. 

In the morning we'll head to Cala Fredda for lunch and relaxation. In the late afternoon we'll set up sails to San Vito lo Capo. Night in the port or at anchor or in the port depending on the weather conditions. Explore the town of San Vito Lo Capo with beautiful Piazza Santuario overlooking the sanctuary-fortress dedicated to San Vito martyr, the saint of the town. Take a walk down to the sea by via Savoia and meet sunset with musicians and street artists.

From San Vito we set sail towards Punta Raisi (about 5hours) and breakfast, and then a stop for swimming and relaxation at the Isola delle Femmine, which is a small and charming town located not far from Palermo and its beautiful seafront. The same name is also taken by a small islet that overlooks them right in front of it. After lunch we will calmly sail towards Palermo. Arrival in Palermo no earlier than 6 pm for the late afternoon, free evening with typical aperitifs, tastings and excellent Sicilian wines and then overnight on the boat.
