About This Experience

This is the small-group Egadi day that most people picture when they imagine the islands: a modern maxi-RIB, a maximum of twelve guests, and a full day spent in the water rather than queueing for it. Tourist Lines Egadi run it out of Trapani port, and the boat's shallow draught is the point — it reaches coves and shelves that the big excursion ferries physically cannot enter.

The crossing to Favignana takes about half an hour. From there the day works its way round the island's best-known water: Cala Azzurra first, then the sculpted tuff cliffs at Bue Marino, then Cala Rossa, Scalo Cavallo and the Grotta degli Innamorati. There is a stop in Favignana town, and on the way back the boat calls at Levanzo for Cala Fredda and Cala Minnola before the run home.

Snorkelling gear, life jackets and floaties are on board and included, as are drinks — alcoholic and soft — plus fresh fruit and a Sicilian street-food snack served between swims. Lunch itself is not included: you either eat ashore during the Favignana stop or bring something with you.

At $64 per person this sits in the middle of the Trapani market — roughly $18 more than the big shared ferry cruises and well under half the price of a private charter. What the extra buys is the twelve-guest cap, and on a day built around swimming that is the difference that shows.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.8/5 by 830 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

This was a great way to spend a day, exploring the coast by boat. Lots of opportunities to swim in beautiful places. I recommend it!
— Costanza Genoese, Septemb

The activity was modified a bit due to weather conditions, but that didn't stop us from doing it. Clearly, the best experience I've had while traveling. Captain Pepe is the best in the world, and Joana was also with us. She was super approachable and friendly with everyone and spent the whole day DJing and playing great songs. I had a great time visiting the amazing coves and drinking from the open bar with my friend and the other people on the excursion. I'd definitely give it a 10/10. It was amazing.
— Carlota, Septemb

Excellent activity. I highly recommend it. The boat is very comfortable, the staff is friendly, and the setting is idyllic. You are amazed by what you see, and time just flies by.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people are on the boat?

Twelve guests maximum. That cap is the reason this tour costs more than the large shared cruises from Trapani, and it is what lets the boat anchor in the smaller coves.

Is lunch included?

No. Drinks, fresh fruit and a Sicilian street-food snack are included, but lunch is not — the boat stops in Favignana town and you eat ashore, or bring your own.

Do I need to bring snorkelling gear?

No. Masks and snorkels, life jackets and floaties are all on board. Bring a towel, swimwear, sunscreen and a hat; towels can be rented or purchased on board if you forget.

Which coves does it actually stop at?

Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino, Cala Rossa and Scalo Cavallo on Favignana, plus the Grotta degli Innamorati, then Cala Fredda and Cala Minnola on Levanzo. The order can change with the wind.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The skipper can modify the itinerary, or the operator can cancel outright. A cancelled trip is rebooked to another date where possible and fully refunded where it is not. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure also applies.
