YOUR RATING
last year's survey score
This year, we will combine the charm of sailing with the flavors of Sicily on a journey that smells of the sea and spices. We will sail aboard a 16-meter sailboat with a skipper, where each cabin is equipped with a private bathroom. We will set sail from Marsala to reach the Egadi Islands, exploring Favignana and Levanzo before arriving in San Vito lo Capo, immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the Cous Cous Festival. An event that celebrates the meeting of cultures through food, enveloping us in exotic scents, bright colors, and the rhythms of live music. We will be captivated by the thousand variations of couscous, between tradition and innovation, while the sea will lull us into moments of relaxation. In addition, the Zingaro Nature Reserve, with its golden cliffs and emerald waters, will paint a spectacular panorama, while the wind will fill the sails, giving us a sense of freedom. An authentic adventure between sea, flavors, and folklore, to be experienced to the fullest, wave after wave.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
First day
From Marsala to Favignana: towards the Egadi Islands
Our journey begins with boarding at 10 a.m. in Marsala. After a brief briefing on navigation, we will focus on the galley. We will then set sail for Favignana, the largest of the Egadi Islands. In the afternoon, we will drop anchor in one of Favignana's beautiful bays, where we will have time to dive into the crystal clear waters. As the sun begins to set, we will prepare dinner on board, while the sky is tinged with warm, golden hues. We will dine surrounded by the magic of the bay, with the sea lit up under the stars and the gentle rocking of the boat. Night at anchor.
Second day
Circumnavigating Levanzo
Today we head to Levanzo, the wildest of the Egadi Islands, where we will dive into the turquoise, crystal-clear waters and explore a marine ecosystem of Posidonia meadows, underwater caves, and schools of multicolored fish. After lunch, we will circumnavigate the island to discover its hidden corners, such as the Grotta del Genovese. At sunset, we will look for a bay to spend the night at anchor, immersed in the wild beauty of Levanzo. The starry sky and the sound of the sea will be the perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening of travel stories, the scent of salt air, and the pleasure of a shared dinner under the stars.
Third day
Arrival in San Vito: spices, music, and flavors
We hoist the sails to sail towards San Vito lo Capo, one of the most sought-after destinations in western Sicily. In the early afternoon, we will reach San Vito lo Capo, the beating heart of the Cous Cous Festival, an event that celebrates food tourism and cultural fusion through cuisine. The scents of spices, Mediterranean colors, and live music will transform the seaside village into a large bazaar. Those who wish can go ashore to immerse themselves in the festival, strolling among the stands, tasting the endless variations of couscous, and watching cooking shows. The Couscous Festival is an experience to be enjoyed with gastronomic tastings, encounters, and the sounds of the Mediterranean.
Fourth day
The Zingaro NatureReserve
This morning we will visit one of the most fascinating places in Sicily: the Zingaro Nature Reserve. Here, among cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation, we will have plenty of time to relax and dive into the crystal clear waters. In the afternoon, we will return to San Vito lo Capo, where the atmosphere of the Cous Cous Festival, the Festival of Cultural Integration, will be even more vibrant. Whether you want to stroll through the white streets of the historic center, taste a new version of couscous, or simply enjoy the sunset from the beach with live music in the background, this evening will be an unforgettable experience.
Fifth day
Sailing in the Gulf of Castellammare
Today begins with a sail in the Gulf of Castellammare, where the coastline reveals itself in all its splendor among the wind-sculpted cliffs. In the afternoon, we will set sail for San Vito lo Capo, ready to immerse ourselves one last time in the overwhelming energy of the Cous Cous Festival. It will be the perfect opportunity to explore the festively lit alleys and let yourself be captivated by the fusion flavors. It will be an evening to enjoy without haste, surrounded by enveloping scents, music, and the atmosphere of one of the most anticipated events of the year. Then, on the last night on the boat, rocked by the sea or in port, we will say goodbye to this adventure with our hearts full of emotions.
Sixth day
Last miles with the Egadi Islands on the horizon
The day begins with a sail to Marsala, leaving behind the liveliness of the Couscous Festival and enjoying the last few miles rocked by the wind. It will be the perfect time to savor the journey, perhaps lying on the bow under the sun or admiring the landscape with the Egadi Islands on the horizon. In the late afternoon, we will arrive at the port of Marsala. For our last dinner together, we recommend treating yourself to an authentic experience in a typical restaurant just a few steps from the marina, where you can indulge in the flavors of the region: a glass of Marsala wine, a plate of busiate pasta, Mediterranean bluefin tuna, and almond desserts!
Seventh day
Disembarkation
Our week among the Egadi Islands, the Zingaro Nature Reserve, and the Cous Cous Festival in San Vito lo Capo is coming to an end. We sailed through Sicilian waters, let ourselves be carried away by the flavors of Sicilian cuisine, including signature cous cous dishes, fish, and local wines, and experienced the vibes of a festival that combines music, culture, and Mediterranean tradition. We immersed ourselves in the authentic atmosphere of Favignana and Levanzo and sailed along the northwestern coast of Sicily. Now it's time to disembark by 10 a.m. Sicily has won us over, and its waters will continue to call us back. Until the next adventure!
