About the experience

Looking for an exclusive boat/dinghy trip? Then you’re in the right place.

No strangers on board – just you and… whoever you choose to bring along.

Beautiful and comfortable motor boat of about 7 meters that will allow you to discover some of the wonderful locations that Sicily and the Egadi archipelago offer.

The dinghy is brand new (first time in the water 2022) and as can be seen from the photos it has a large sundeck at the stern where you can relax (even during navigation) during the wonderful days you will spend.
It has a central driving position with windshield.
Very large awning (which covers over 50% of the dinghy) to rest in the shade during the hottest hours of the day and shower (with over 100 liter tank) to rinse yourself even after all the dives in the splendid Sicilian waters.
The boat is equipped with a brand new Yamaha 200 horsepower outboard engine, installed in 2023.
I will show you the most beautiful locations that the Egadi archipelago and, why not, that of the smaller islands, located within the Stagnone lagoon (Mothia, long island and Schola island), offer.

I almost forgot... fuel is not included in the indicated rate, the Skipper is.

At sea with me you can only do what you want, when and if you want - Fun and Relaxation guaranteed.

Come to sea with me... you won't regret it.

    We took a boat trip to Favignana and it was an unforgettable experience. The skipper organized everything perfectly: he showed us wonderful coves, offered us drinks, and shared lots of interesting information about the island from a true local's perspective. To make the day even more special, he arranged a delicious lunch for us at a traditional restaurant in Levanzo, where we were greeted with great kindness and treated wonderfully. The atmosphere was relaxed, the welcome warm, and the scenery breathtaking. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Favignana and Levanzo in an authentic and special way!

    If you want to take a boat trip to Favignana and Levanzo, Francesco is the best you can ask for, availability and kindness incomparable with anyone else, I recommend having lunch in Levanzo where Francesco will gladly take you, it will be an experience you will not repeat, I still dream of that lunch, for the rest of the day everything was perfect, when I return I will definitely book with him

    I had the pleasure of spending a day on Francesco's dinghy. He's an excellent skipper and the perfect host, a delightful companion with whom we can chat about everything. He's a great expert on the most enchanting coves of the Egadi Islands, taking you on a tour with stops for wonderful swims. The well-stocked galley is particularly noteworthy, with its chilled beers, excellent wine, and various snacks to stave off hunger pangs before a fantastic lunch at Romano, a trattoria on the island of Levanzo, with a terrace overlooking the marina and a breathtaking view. The fish was incredibly fresh, the appetizers and first courses were superb, and the desserts were mouth-watering. In short, thank you, Francesco, for the wonderful day we spent together; a true master of the sea.

    We chose Francesco by chance, looking for an experience in Favignana that would allow us to enjoy a day that wasn't too "commercial," and we were very lucky. From the very beginning, he proved to be super helpful and kind, offering a service where friendliness reigned supreme. We visited Favignana and Levanzo, and had lunch here at a small restaurant with delicious food. There's not much to say about Favignana and Levanzo beyond what's known: spectacular and heavenly... Francesco made the difference with his friendliness and helpfulness, all accompanied by cold drinks throughout the day. So much so that before leaving, we organized another outing. Rating 10/10.

    Francesco and Eva were absolutely amazing hosts! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly prepared to welcome us. They gave us clear and helpful explanations, and their warm company made us feel truly at home. They were always attentive and thoughtful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. To our surprise, they had even prepared a lovely welcome snack and a special toast to greet us — such a kind and personal touch! It was truly an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Thank you, Francesco and Eva!

    EXCELLENT! Our best experience on the island. The boat is beautiful and practical, but the best part is Francesco's kindness and knowledge. He took us to the best beaches, coves, and caves with the best waves and was extremely respectful. He gave us drinks, food, and surprises! He took us to Levenzo, where we ate at an incredible place; it was worth the extra fuel cost. Without a doubt, Favignana wouldn't have been the same without Francesco.

    *An unforgettable day in Favignana!* We spent a wonderful day on a dinghy discovering the island of Favignana. The skipper was exceptional: kind, polite, sociable and always available. He immediately made us feel at ease and enthusiastically shared his knowledge and advice, making the tour even more interesting. You can clearly perceive his passion for his work, which he carries out with great professionalism and love for the sea. The stages of the tour were spectacular, with stops in the most beautiful spots to swim and fully enjoy the natural wonders of the island. An experience that we highly recommend and that we would definitely do again! Excellent value for money too.

    We were on a boat with Francesco during our honeymoon and we couldn't have wished for anything better! From the first moment he welcomed us with incredible kindness, making us feel immediately at ease. He is an honest, helpful and passionate person about his work. He made us discover hidden and wonderful corners, far from the usual tourist tours, giving us an authentic and special experience. The paddle board was a gem: fun and perfect for enjoying the sea in total freedom! We had so much fun, everything was perfect. Thank you Francesco for making this day unforgettable!

    Yesterday by chance I had the pleasure of discovering through this service a professional of the highest level, high competence, education, cordiality and simoatia. I cannot fail to mention the fact that he made me find fruit, snacks, drinks on the boat. With my friend, thanks to Francesco's techniques, we were able to enjoy the fantastic island of Favignana, in some truly breathtaking and gorgeous places. The dinghy has a very high comfort and is also suitable for those who suffer from being in the sun, because it is equipped with a complete awning. After several times on a boat in Favignana and in many other places in the world, I can say that this was one of the best experiences on a boat. Highly recommended++++

    Francesco is a very competent and extremely kind and helpful person. Great welcome on board with all types of drinks and useful services to spend a very pleasant experience in these enchanting places. In particular I recommend the excursion to the island of Levanzo where we had lunch in a fantastic setting. Once you are in these fantastic places you cannot miss out on a boat excursion and the one with Francesco was a splendid experience.

Education, courtesy, elegance and an infinite availability that led him to do anything to please us and see us happy. After so many years and so many tours, we can say, without any fear of contradiction, that we have never met a skipper like him. A perfect day!

    We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a boat trip guided by Francesco and Eva, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we stepped on board, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Francesco and Eva were exceptional hosts, ensuring that every detail was taken care of throughout the journey.They took us to some of the most breathtaking locations, each more stunning than the last. Their knowledge of the area and passion for sharing its beauty was evident, and they went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect at all times. Their attentiveness and dedication truly made the trip special.Whether it was pointing out hidden gems, sharing fascinating stories, or simply ensuring we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves, Francesco and Eva exceeded all expectations. This boat trip was a highlight of our travels, and we can't recommend it highly enough. If you're looking for an amazing adventure with top-notch hosts, look no further!

    My wife and I were lucky enough to tour with Francesco and his wife. The tour could not have been more perfect. We visited the most beautiful locales Favignana has to offer and were able to do our exploring by boat and snorkel. Each stop treated us to beauty as well as a story complimented by top shelf tasty treats and libations. If you’re looking for a tour of the best Favignana has to offer with the most thoughtful and delicious accompaniments, do yourself a favor and book with Francesco! You will start on a tour and leave with new friends! We loved every moment!

    Francesco is a great captain and host. Even before our journey started he excelled with his weather insights, recommendations for the best day to travel and he was very flexible to allow us to take off at the best moment: Sun and Wind where ideal for our trip to Favignana and Levanzo. From entering the boat till goodbye the trip was a day to remember. The whole family enjoyed the beautiful places with pristine water francesco took us to and at every place there was a little specialty to experience that Francesco drew our attention to. Franceso provided us with cold drinks, a SUP and snorkeling equiptment to get the best experience on and under the water. We saw many small and medium fish and beautiful seabeds with patches of sand, rocks and seaweeds which gave the water all different shades of blue . For lunch we followed his recommendation for a restaurant on levanzo and had a great meal with vegetables, pasta, shrimp and various kinds of fish including a whole „orata“ which was served freshly grilled and very tasty. The whole lunch we enjoyed the view on the bay of levanzo. After lunch we continued exploring beaches and bays on levanzo and favingana in the setting sun… Thanks to Francesco we left the boat with a big smile.. and many great memories of the Thyrrhenian Sea…
