The boat slips out of Trapani harbor at midmorning and the western Sicilian sea opens like a challenge: wind at the bow, sun on the deck, and limestone coasts sharpening the horizon.

The boat slips out of Trapani harbor at midmorning and the western Sicilian sea opens like a challenge: wind at the bow, sun on the deck, and limestone coasts sharpening the horizon.
Within half an hour the pale rock of Favignana appears and the captain eases into the first cove. Guests rotate through 6 scheduled swims—Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino, Cala Rossa, Scalo Cavallo and the Grotta degli Innamorati—each a pocket of clear water where snorkel masks reveal seagrass beds, starfish and the slow roaming of the Mediterranean.
This coastline has long been shaped by geology and human craft: tuff and limestone cliffs worn by wind and wave, and an economy once centered on the tonnara tuna fisheries that dotted the Egadi islands. Favignana’s harbor and Levanzo’s village still carry traces of that maritime history in their stone wharves and narrow streets.
Practicalities are straightforward. Departures are from the Columbus yachting club in Trapani (check-in 9:30am, boat leaves 10:00am); the full loop returns around 6:00pm. Snorkeling gear is provided and there’s a 1–3pm stop on Favignana for lunch ashore. Light snacks, bottled water and two aperitifs—plus a prosecco and panelle at day’s end—are included.
Expect mostly calm open-water swims and brief dinghy transfers to view Levanzo’s Faraglioni and Grotta dei Separati. Bring a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and a basic level of swimming comfort. Timing favors late spring through early autumn; mornings and evenings are coolest and offer the clearest water.

The Egadi islands have a long maritime history driven by tuna fisheries (tonnare); Favignana’s quarries and coastal structures reflect centuries of sea-based industry.
These islands lie within the Area Marina Protetta Isole Egadi—avoid touching marine life, use reef-safe sunscreen and follow crew guidance to minimize impact.
