La vacanza perfetta ! Sono anni che viaggio con Sailing Square ma mai ho trovato tanta cura ed attenzione . Max è uno skipper attento e preparato . La sua cucina è a dir poco sublime , ti stupisce ad ogni pasto , Vieni svegliato da profumi sublimi ! Ogni giornata è perfettamente organizzata tra bagni in baie protette , gite in barca a Marettimo , veleggiate rilassanti , aperitivi con sottofondo musicale e serate in ristoranti tipici sapientemente suggeriti da Max . La barca è confortevole e con ampi spazi per rilassarsi anche all'ombra grazie ad un grande tendalino .. cosa si può desiderare di più??? Grazie Max

Abbiamo appena concluso una settimana di vacanza in barca a vela tra le magnifiche Isole Egadi ( io, mia moglie e mia figlia di 10 anni) e non potrei essere più entusiasta di condividere la mia esperienza a dir poco perfetta! Se state cercando il mix ideale di avventura, relax e un servizio impeccabile, questa è l'opzione che fa per voi. Il vero punto di forza di questa esperienza è stato il team a bordo. Lo skipper, con la sua profonda conoscenza delle acque e delle isole, ci ha guidato con maestria, garantendo navigazioni sicure e piacevoli. La sua preparazione è stata evidente in ogni manovra e nel suo sapere raccontare aneddoti e curiosità sui luoghi che visitavamo, arricchendo ogni tappa del nostro viaggio. Ci siamo sempre sentiti in mani sicure e competenti. Altrettanto eccezionale è stata la hostess, una figura semplicemente preziosa. La sua premura e attenzione a ogni dettaglio hanno reso la nostra permanenza a bordo estremamente confortevole. Dal mattino alla sera, si è dimostrata sempre disponibile e attenta alle nostre esigenze, anticipando spesso i nostri desideri con un sorriso. L'atmosfera a bordo era sempre serena e accogliente, merito anche della sua professionalità e della sua capacità di far sentire tutti a proprio agio. Ma ciò che ha reso questa vacanza davvero speciale è stato il perfetto equilibrio tra navigazione e vita da mare. Non ci siamo mai sentiti affrettati, né tantomeno annoiati. Ogni giornata era un susseguirsi ben bilanciato di veleggiate mozzafiato, dove potevamo goderci il vento tra i capelli e panorami indimenticabili, e lunghe soste in calette incantevoli. Abbiamo avuto tutto il tempo per tuffarci in acque cristalline, fare snorkeling in fondali ricchi di vita, esplorare grotte nascoste e semplicemente rilassarci sotto il sole, cullati dalle onde. Non c'era mai la sensazione di dover "correre" da un posto all'altro, ma piuttosto di assaporare ogni istante. In sintesi, questa vacanza in barca a vela alle Egadi è stata un vero e proprio sogno ed ha superato ogni aspettativa. La consiglio vivamente a chiunque desideri un'esperienza indimenticabile nel cuore del Mediterraneo.

The best places to discover in the Egadi Islands on a sailing boat or catamaran

In the most extreme point of the Western Sicily, the Egadi Islands are a corner of the Mediterranean still uncontaminated, where you can taste the authentic life of the people of the sea. The zone, with its 53.992 hectares, constitutes the Marina Protected Area more extended of Europe. A spectacle of unparalleled beauty, in which the three major islands - Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo - plus a series of islets and rocks emerge.

Not yet swept away by mass tourism, the islands of this archipelago offer a varied and wild nature and a mild and warm climate for almost the whole year.
You will sail among the splendid islands, surrounded by crystal clear waters of extraordinary beauty, and you will land in places rich in history and folklore, delighted by unique scents and flavors.

Fresh fish is never lacking on the tables of these islands. Fish couscous, barbecued tuna, spaghetti with tuna roe, sea urchins, limpets, langoustines and lobsters are just some of the delicious dishes you can enjoy. Last stop, Trapani. City of art that loves to live of night, offers many places, restaurants but also concerts of every type in ancient and evocative frames. From here it will be easy to reach Marsala, splendid city with many wine cellars to visit or to make return towards the airports of Trapani or Palermo.

Favignana

Favignana is the biggest of the islands: here blue bays and baths with dives from the rocks are the order of the day in every roadstead! In the port it is possible to visit the incredible cemetery of the anchors and the tonnara Florio, one of the most important of the Mediterranean, exemplary place of how much the industrial archaeology has to offer.
Typical of the island they are the paths sterrati between the fields and the quarries of tufo to open sky, than, together to the muretti to dry, they contribute to give a particular aspect and evocative to the whole island.
You can rent a bike for the turn of the island, but also to climb to the Semaforo, an ancient point of sighting that gives enchanting glimpses on the sea. The evening in the port will be an opportunity to go out to dinner and taste local specialties, tuna products, wines and the typical grenadine as dessert.

Levanzo

Levanzo is the smallest of the Egadi, a small jewel in the transparent sea. It is in fact an island of just 6 square kilometers, which deserves to be circumnavigated with the luxury of slowness to discover the beaches of the creeks Minnola, Tramontana, Camarro.
The small and quaint town, which stands at the inlet of Cala Dogana, preserves intact all aspects of an ancient fishing village. Untouched beaches and spectacular caves make it the ideal destination for snorkeling enthusiasts.

Marettimo

Marettimo, wild and untouched, is the third island of the Egadi, the farthest from the Sicilian coast. Perhaps the fact that it is further away has allowed it to keep its wild and solitary character intact, making it unforgettable. A Dolomite mountain in the middle of the sea, with forests, springs and pastures, but also a sea with incredible depths and caves that are among the most beautiful in Italy.
