This experience, in a nutshell
On board a comfortable catamaran for a week of sea, relaxation but also sports and fun!
Sail between the coast of Sicily, the Zingaro Reserve, San Vito Lo Capo and the incredible Egadi Islands. Levanzo and Marettimo, with their timeless magic, retain their character and their wild aspect. The island of Favignana with its turquoise sea and its crystal clear waters is the ideal island to sail, but also with an animated and characteristic historic center. the nightlife of San Vito Lo Capo.
Our starting point will be the comfortable and baroque Palermo, which will be the setting for the last evening we will spend together for dinner and exploring the picturesque and welcoming Sicilian city.

Monday:
Yoga in navigation (about 5h) towards Favignana, the largest of the islands, with its characteristic butterfly shape. The name derives from the construction stone, called Favignana, which is extracted from the tuff quarries. Once you arrive, you will stop for a dip and relax in Cala Rossa, a symbolic cove of the island, which offers both rocks and sand set in a sea that embraces shades ranging from blue to light blue. For the evening you will enter the port where moored you can go down comfortably in the main village of the island.
Tuesday:
Yoga ashore, breakfast and for those who want to visit the Tonnara Florio, the former Florio plant of the Tonnare di Favignana and Formica is an ancient trap, one of the largest in the Mediterranean. It is here that Ignazio Florio, at the end of the nineteenth century, invented the revolutionary method of preserving tuna, having the adjoining factory built. We circumnavigate Favignana with a stop in Cala Pozzo or Cala Rotonda. Yoga sailing towards Marettimo (about 3 hours) and arrival in the late afternoon in the farthest of the Egadi islands, Marettimo. Thanks to its remoteness, the impervious nature of the mountain and the low human impact on the environment, it preserves a very precious vegetative and faunal heritage, where rare species almost unique to the Mediterranean have been able to live. We will go down with the tender to visit the village and if you want to dine in its renowned restaurants and taste pasta with Egadi lobster. Overnight at anchor in the Bay of Porticciolo di Marettimo.
Wednesday:
Marettimo, yoga and breakfast ashore on the wild island dominated by Monte Falcone is full of beautiful natural caves, famous for excursions along the paths that lead to the ruins of the Roman houses and marine reserve. We set sail for Punta Troia to see the promontory and the recently restored Castle of Punta Troia, and take a few bath stops, here for relaxation and lunch, (for those who want, you can arrive from the land path from the town to Punta Troia, about two hours and then practice and meditation on the Castle). In the late afternoon, navigation to the small Levanzo, yoga on the boat (2 hours of navigation).
Levanzo (in Sicilian Lèvanzu) is made up of white limestone rocks that have numerous caves. The Greek name of the island was Phorbantia, probably due to the abundant amount of grass on the island. The town is made up of a small group of houses with a small marina, which is about 15 km from Trapani. It has no carriage roads, apart from a small stretch of paved road that leads to the Faraglione beach. This condition of technological backwardness explains the integrity of its scenic beauty. We will still face the town or Cala Tramontana and go down with the Tender to explore the smallest of the Egadi Islands.

Waking up in Levanzo with Yoga Practice in CalaTramontana or in the Pinetina towards Cala Ninnoli and after a swim in the Grotta del Genovese and a dip in Cala Fredda, in the late afternoon we set sail for San Vito lo Capo, where we will spend the night in the port or at the again or in the port depending on the weather conditions. The town of San Vito Lo Capo will wait for you a refreshing walk of Sicilian life. The heart of the town is Piazza Santuario overlooked by the sanctuary-fortress dedicated to San Vito martyr, patron saint of the town. From here, via Savoia, it quickly reaches the sea, an irresistible attraction for everyone. Via Savoia, very popular especially in the evening, is a destination for shopping and relaxing walks, while in the clubs on the beach young people meet at sunset for sparkling Happy Hours. Musicians, street artists, stalls full of original artifacts enrich the long summer evenings.

Non una vacanza, una truffa! Se scegli una vacanza in barca accetti la scomodità di una cabina puzzolente allo steso costo di una camera di resort a cinque stelle extra confort ma lo fai per vivere il mare e l’avventura. Non per restare in porto per metà della vacanza per un’ avaria della barca dopo poche ore dall’inizio del viaggio. Marianna una referente con modi cafoneschi , incompetente , furba e non professionale. Alessandro un bravo ragazzo ma Uno skipper è un’altra cosa. Tutta l’organizzazione pessima . Vacanza esosissima e deludente. E IL SOTTOSCRITTO NAVIGA DA 30 ANNI!!!
Cambio di barca comunicatoci a poche ore dalla partenza in tempo non più utile al recesso. Barca in sostituzione non dotata dei confort garantiti all’atto dell’acquisto della vacanza e che va in avaria dopo poche ore dalla partenza. Lo skipper si dichiara di non poter riparare l’avaria senza l’autorizzazione dell’organizzazione che arriva dopo 1 giorno. Equipaggio totalmente diverso..,un inganno totale ---------------------------------RISPOSTA DELL'ORGANIZZATRICE MARIANNA---------------A seguito delle affermazioni totalmente false fatte ed al limite della calunnia riteniamo sia importante fare chiarezza. Premetto che da oltre 15 anni, organizziamo con successo vacanze a vela, mettendo al centro la nostra esperienza ( siamo tutti comandanti - marinai - hostess - direttori agenzia viaggio) per far stare bene i nostri equipaggi, ecco in maniera obiettiva i tanti dettagli omessi accuratamente da Fabio e dalla sua compagna.
Fabio ha prenotato un Catamarano Lagoon 42 del 2019 che per un problema tecnico il giorno prima dell'imbarco, è stato sostituito prontamente dal proprietario stesso con un Lucia 40' del 2019, entrambi i modelli 4 cabine e 4 bagni privati e lo stesso tipo di optional a bordo indicati, non c'è mai stata disparità anzi è palese anche dal Link della Crociera prenotata.
Partiti regolarmente Sabato e con nessuna lamentela da parte di nessuno, anzi al contrario tutti bene e con foto di Equipaggi sereni. Domenica tardo pomeriggio Si è verificato un problema elettrico al salpancore, risolto prontamente la mattina successiva con intervento di un nostro meccanico a Lipari. La notte di domenica trascorsa a Lipari è stata pagata da noi. Nessuna richiesta di autorizzazione ma solo aspettare arrivo del meccanico con il ricambio necessario, altra "piccola omissione"?
Nessun disservizio, anzi ulteriore "piccolo particolare" che Fabio omette che nella settimana in cui è avvenuto il viaggio, le condizioni meteorologiche con il ciclone Poppea, che insisteva in tutta Italia, ha reso comunque necessario restare al sicuro in porto fino a mercoledì mattina per garantire la sicurezza a bordo. Quindi il Catamarano anche se perfettamente funzionante da lun mattina, è stato fermo in porto SOLO ED ESCLUSIVAMENTE PER IL METEO.
Per via del cattivo tempo, io stessa mi trovavo nello stesso porto a Lipari e Lunedì mattina sono stata a bordo del catamarano per controllare intervento tecnico ed invitare l'equipaggio ad una escursione via terra a Lipari anche per Musei che avevemo organizzato con tutti gli altri ( eravamo tutti bloccati per cattivo tempo), ma sono stata accolta con insulti e un comportamento molto inappropriato da parte della compagna di Fabio, tanto che lo stesso ha sentito necessario esprimere almeno le sue scuse a nome della signora anche in forma scritta via messaggio.
Martedì mattina Fabio e la sua compagna hanno deciso di abbandonare l'imbarcazione senza comunicarlo a nessuno. Sono scomparsi e non rispondevano a nulla. Un comportamento che ha causato grande allarme e preoccupazione. La sicurezza in mare richiede una comunicazione chiara e rispetto per il comandante e per il resto dell'equipaggio, anche nell’abbandonare la barca.
Alessandro è ampiamente conosciuto per la sua competenza, professionalità e disponibilità, come dimostrato dalle numerose recensioni positive dei nostri precedenti clienti che francamente parlano da sole e rendono le ulteriori offese di Fabio, gratuite e totalmente infondate.
Nonostante gli ostacoli del meteo, la crociera ha avuto successo e tutti gli altri membri dell'equipaggio più avvezzi alle vacanze in charter hanno apprezzato l'esperienza, confermando la loro soddisfazione con conferma di altre crociere con noi.
In conclusione, è chiaro e palese che i problemi avuti da Fabio e dalla sua compagna siano legati strettamente alla loro mancata adeguatezza al genere di vacanza in barca a vela e la loro scarsa capacità di socialità a bordo, non solo imprevedibile ma pericoloso e sicuro non compatibile con nessuna tipologia di viaggi di gruppo.
