Sail through the clear waters of the Mediterranean on a private day trip linking Favignana and Levanzo, two of the Aegadian Islands’ most remarkable spots. The route combines swimming, snorkelling, and quiet coastal exploration with time ashore, all at a relaxed pace. Lunch and refreshments are served on board, making the day comfortable, social, and entirely tailored to your group’s preferences.
Set off from Favignana’s Vento di Maestrale Marina aboard a private dinghy, gliding along the island’s turquoise coastline while taking in the morning sea breeze. The tour offers the perfect balance of relaxation and exploration, with stops at Favignana’s most beautiful bays, including Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino, Cala Rossa, and the Lovers’ Cave, where you can swim, snorkel, or simply enjoy the calm waters and dramatic coastal scenery.
After exploring Favignana, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch on board featuring traditional Trapani dishes, accompanied by drinks of your choice. There’s also time to wander the village’s narrow streets, discover local shops, and experience the authentic charm of the island before heading to Levanzo. On Levanzo, secluded coves like Cala Dogana, Cala Fredda, and Cala Minnola offer crystal-clear waters and serene surroundings, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or soaking up the quiet beauty of the island.
As the day draws to a close, the dinghy returns to Favignana, giving you one last chance to relax on deck and take in the views. From hidden caves to golden beaches, the trip combines natural wonders, local history, and a personalised pace to create a memorable and private experience across two of the Aegadian Islands.
Favignana is the largest of the Aegadian Islands, located off the west coast of Sicily. The village is picturesque, with narrow streets, historic buildings, and a welcoming harbour. Its calm waters and beaches are ideal for snorkelling and swimming.
The surrounding islands, including Levanzo, are rich in marine biodiversity, with secluded coves and historic sites. The private dinghy tour allows access to hidden spots not reachable by larger vessels, combining natural beauty, history, and an intimate Mediterranean experience.
