Boat trips with skipper · Favignana
Before booking
- Agree in advance on the meeting time, boarding point, and duration of the trip.
- Ask what is included: lunch or snacks on board, drinks, snorkeling equipment.
- Check the marine weather forecast: with a strong mistral, the north side of the island becomes impassable.
- In the areas of the Area Marina Protetta Isole Egadi, stops and access are regulated: the skipper knows the limits.
- Book a few days in advance during high season: places on board are limited.
Self-drive rental: coming soon
The section dedicated to renting dinghies and boats without a skipper is not yet active: we will publish it once we have verified the operators, with contact details and actual conditions. In the meantime, you will only find skippered trips here.
