Private Boat Tour — Egadi Islands, Sicily

Egadi Islands Private Tour: Favignana and Levanzo by Dinghy with Lunch from Trapani

A full-day private dinghy excursion through the clearest waters of the Sicilian Mediterranean.


This Egadi Islands private boat tour offers an exclusive day at sea, visiting the most captivating coves and sea caves of Favignana and Levanzo, with lunch served on board and the freedom of a fully personalized itinerary.

Departing from Trapani, the tour reaches the twin jewels of the Egadi archipelago — Favignana and Levanzo — each offering a distinct character: tuff quarries and turquoise bays on one side, ancient Phoenician anchorages and freshwater springs on the other. The entire experience is organized exclusively for your group, with no shared boats or fixed crowds.

Throughout the day, stops include legendary sea caves, historical battleground coves, and secluded beaches well off the standard tourist circuit. An aperitif on board, a traditional Trapanese lunch at the port, and a closing toast with prosecco complete the experience.

The difficulty level is rated easy, making it suitable for families, couples, and first-time visitors to the Egadi Islands who want comfort alongside discovery.

Tour Highlights

Swim and snorkel in Cala Azzurra's shallow turquoise waters, one of Favignana's most celebrated bays.

Enter the Grotta degli Innamorati, a sea cave with rock formations shaped by centuries of wave erosion and local legend.

Explore Levanzo's quieter coastline, including Cala Fredda, Cala Dogana, and the historically rich Cala Minnula.

Enjoy an on-board aperitif with Spritz, snacks, and cold drinks between swimming stops.

Lunch is served moored at Favignana port, featuring cunzato bread, arancine, pizza, wine, and seasonal fruit from the Trapani tradition.

Walk through Favignana's historic center after lunch, visiting its craft shops and discovering the island's tuna fishing heritage.

The tour is fully private — the itinerary is adapted to your group's preferences, pace, and interests throughout the day.

Itinerary Overview

1
Cala Azzurra and Bue Marino Cave — Favignana

The tour begins with a stop at Cala Azzurra, a sheltered bay with white sand and shallow, clear water ideal for snorkeling. Nearby, the Bue Marino sea cave — once a refuge for monk seals — offers dramatic rock formations and deep blue reflections that reward both swimmers and photographers.

2
On-Board Aperitif

Between swims, the crew serves a classic aperitif on deck: Aperol Spritz or Campari Spritz with prosecco, chips, peanuts, and spiced snacks. Non-alcoholic options including soft drinks and iced teas are also available.

3
Cala Rossa and Grotta degli Innamorati — Favignana

Cala Rossa is one of the most historically charged bays in the Egadi Islands, named for the naval battles of the First Punic War fought here in 241 BC. The adjacent Grotta degli Innamorati is a sea cave whose interior formations, seen from the right angle, resemble two figures in an embrace — a detail that has fueled local legend for generations.

4
Lunch on Board at Favignana Port and Village Walk

The boat moors at Favignana port around midday for a traditional Trapanese lunch served on deck: cunzato bread seasoned with tomatoes, anchovies, oil and oregano, arancine with two fillings, pizza, seasonal fruit, wine, and soft drinks. After lunch, the group is free to explore the village's narrow streets, historic buildings, and artisan shops at a relaxed pace.

5
Levanzo: Cala Dogana, Cala Fredda, and Cala Minnula

The afternoon crosses to Levanzo, the smallest inhabited island of the Egadi group. The tour covers three distinct anchorages: Cala Dogana, the island's main landing point with its characteristic white houses; Cala Fredda, a secluded pebble beach fed by ancient freshwater springs; and Cala Minnula, a historically layered cove used as a port by Phoenician, Greek, and Roman sailors.

6
Closing Refreshment on Board

As the excursion draws to a close, fresh seasonal fruit is served on deck alongside prosecco or a shot of cantaloupe liqueur for those who prefer it. The boat then returns toward Trapani, concluding the full-day experience.
