About This Experience

This is the Egadi day that the largest number of people actually book — 2,940 reviews and counting — and it is the cheapest way to see both islands from Trapani. Blu Lines run it as a mini-cruise on a large motor vessel rather than a small boat, which is exactly why it costs $46 and why the experience is different in kind from a twelve-seat RIB.

Departure is 09:30 from Trapani port, with Favignana reached around 10:20. The first block is free time ashore: the village, the shops, the Ex Stabilimento Florio tuna museum, or a swim off the beach in front of the harbour. Back on board around 12:30, the boat then sails the Favignana coast past Scalo Cavallo, Cala Rossa, Bue Marino and Cala Azzurra, anchoring in one of the coves for a swim before a Trapanese lunch is served on board.

After lunch it crosses to Levanzo, stops at the port for a walk through the village, then sails past the Faraglione and along to Cala Fredda and Cala Minnola. Arrival back in Trapani is around 17:00–18:00.

Two things to weigh before booking. The rating is 4.2 — respectable for the volume, but noticeably below the small-boat operators, and the recurring theme is crowding rather than anything going wrong. And the €5 per-person Egadi Marine Protected Area fee is not in the ticket price; it is collected on the day.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.2/5 by 2,940 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

Everything was great on board. Everything was good, from the starter to the fruit, wine, and water. Thank you for everything. Highly recommended.

It was a great experience with the Blu Lines company. Professional, fun staff who accompany you throughout the trip with friendliness and cheer. Excellent lunch on board, including seconds! The stops on the islands and the schedules were perfectly adhered to. I'm happy I traveled with this company. I will definitely recommend the Egadi experience.
— Biagio, Septemb

Great experience! Good for families with kids. If they can walk a bit then you can also experience further amazing locations on the islands. Just be sure to take care of the time you need to get to boat, they open no exceptions for late arrivals as boat will depart on time 😅

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this so much cheaper than the other Trapani boat tours?

It runs on a large shared motor vessel rather than a RIB or a small yacht, so the cost per seat is far lower. You get both islands and lunch for $46; what you do not get is a twelve-guest boat that can slip into the narrower coves.

Is lunch really included?

Yes — a typical Trapanese lunch is served on board after the morning swim stop. The €5 Marine Protected Area fee is the one extra you should budget for, and it is paid on the day.

How much free time is there in Favignana?

Roughly two hours, from about 10:20 to 12:30. That is enough for the village, the Ex Stabilimento Florio tuna museum or a swim off the harbour beach — not for all three at a relaxed pace.

What time does it get back?

Trapani port at about 17:00–18:00. Leave a margin if you have a flight or a train the same evening.

Is it good for families?

Yes — a big stable vessel, a shaded deck, a hot lunch and a village stop suit children better than a fast RIB. The trade-off is that it is the busiest option on the route.
