Meeting at 9:30 in the marina, quick safety briefing and off we go towards Egadi (Favignana and/or Levanzo) During the navigation we unfurl the sails and turn off the engines for an authentic and relaxing experience (wind permitting). For those interested, the basic notions and rules of sailing will be explained. Once we arrive at the islands we stop in some of the most beautiful coves both to swim and/or to observe the seabed with masks and snorkels that we provide. The excursion to the islands varies depending on the weather conditions, current wind and waves are constantly changing... this is the charm of sailing, nature guides us. We return to the Marina at 18:30

    We had an incredible day on Gabriele’s sailboat, accompanied by my friend and another couple of tourists. The setting was simply magical: turquoise waters, breathtaking landscapes, and several opportunities to swim in crystal-clear waters.

    Gabriele was very welcoming and always available to answer our questions, enthusiastically sharing his experience and passion for sailing.

    This intimate excursion made the experience even more special and memorable. We leave with unforgettable memories and can only recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a timeless moment on the water.

    Thank you Gabriele.

    Gabrielle & Thibault.

    An amazing day discovering all the secret tresors of Egadi Islands (Levanzo) with Gabriel. It was superb.

    He’s very experient, calm, drove us away of the crowded places and knows very well the Islands and it’s history so We had a quiet and surprising experience.

    I highly recomend the trip by boat with Gabriel!

    Thank You

    Gabriele and Maria Teresa were excellent. We were able to arrange the ideal trip despite the weather conditions.
    We live the full sailing experience, with minimal engine use. Very different from the other rides offered on noisy railways or motorboats.
    An ideal experience for families.
    Levanzo is a very interesting little island. Ideal for snorkeling.

    Very grateful.

    Good winds!!

    Gabriele is a perfect bilingual, helpful, kind before and throughout the trip. He also gave us some tips on the rest of our stay in Trapani

    We booked this sailing tour with Gabriele, a local guide and skipper, young, incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He called us a few days before to confirm the trip, updating us on all the details (having met him through the suggestion of close friends and not online to read the specifications a priori). Guy very sensitive to the needs of individual travelers, who shares if you also want great advice and sailing stories!

    The tour was magnificent, Gabriele was able to share his passion and knowledge of the area, offering an all-round experience.

    Plus:
    Weather permitting, it is also one of the few licensed to discover some protected areas with fewer tourists and boats.

    90€ best spent of our stay in Trapani

    I booked this Sailing Boat tour before I arrived in Sicily for my Solo Trip. I am so glad I booked this! I had thee most amazing time.

    Gabriele and Maria were such welcoming, kind hearted and polite people. They both greeted me explained the safety on board the boat and we set sail to the Islands. There was one other couple that set sail with us who were lovely.

    The only way I can describe this is they 'go with the wind'. It all depends on mother natures circumstances which island is first on the list, wether the sails were up or not, which bay they would take you to. But in all honesty this did not matter to me, I was happy to leave this to them to sort out as this is their field of experties. It was so relaxing and calming and they both personalise the journey so you always get the most out of the day.

    Personally for me, I did not want to be stuffed onto a ferry or squeezed onto a boat and rounded up like cattle. This was why I chose this Sailing Boat experience, you could relax, complexly unwind, and enjoy the atmosphere.

    Gabriele and Maria wanted to get to know me, taught me about Sicily, its history, the Islands we visited. They are exceptional people I learnt a lot about the Sailing Boat, they let me have a go at Sailing and talked me through everything safely. I felt at ease, I was in my element.

    We managed to go to a village on an Island that consisted of 70 people. They let us dive off the boat swim ashore, they prepared a bag for us to bring things to this remote island, so we could explore. When we swam back they had prepared fresh melon for us to share. They are honestly such thoughtful people.

    If I was to come back to Sicily or if any of my family or friends were to visit I would not hesitate to book a trip with these two people. I can guarantee you'll have the time of your life. Thank you both for a great experience.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour to see the islands, learn of the history of the region and these beautiful islands. Gabriele was very engaging and generous host.

    Pity we weren’t able to sail with a lack of wind but the stops to swim and snorkel among the many fish along the rocky shores and sandy bays in wonderfully clear waters were superb.

    We highly recommend this tour.

    It was a truly fabulous experience. I've never been on a sailing boat. I'm a non swimmer and don't really like the water. Maria Teresa an Gabrielle really made me feel safe and relaxed, I'm so glad I booked the trip. My partner does sail and equally loved the day.
    When you are looking at trips, book this one because it's great value for money, you will be welcomed with open arms and it's a wonderful day.

    Exceptional experience!
    Gabriele contacted us two days before to give us details about the day.
    We were able to park very easily at the Marina in Trapani.

    The excursion lasts all day, the sailboat is very comfortable and Gabriele explained to us several anecdotes about the Egadi Islands and Sicily in general.

    We shared the sailboat with a couple with whom we were able to talk a lot and make the day even more pleasant!

    Unlike many, this boat day had absolutely none of the tourist atmosphere, it was a family day, perfect for resting and enjoying the sea and the beautiful islands without the noise of the engine.

    A huge thank you to Gabriele for being a perfect guide and making this day in Sicily unforgettable!!!

    Even though the weather was perfect they cancelled the boat trip due to weather reasons. I'm guessing because there was only meant to be 2 of us going so not worth it for them, but then they need to state there is a minimum number of people going. Very dissapointed.

    A wonderful trip to the islands with great company and food. The pace was perfect and relaxing and our hosts Gabriele and Maria Teresa made us very welcome and secure. They kept us away from the crowds and we enjoyed snorkeling in secluded coves and we had a short visit to the village on Levanzo. I can't recommend the trip highly enough and we hope to come back.
