About the tour

Sardinia → Aegadian Islands → Palermo 🇮🇹

This route is pure Mediterranean poetry.
From Sardinia’s emerald coves, through the untouched Aegadian Islands, to historic, sunlit Palermo — a journey where each day brings new shades of the sea, new aromas, and new emotions.

It’s a leg for those who love a mix of good wind, beautiful anchorages, culinary discoveries, and real seamanship between islands.

Why is the Sardinia → Egadi → Palermo route so special?

1. Sardinia — a start in one of Italy’s most beautiful places 🇮🇹

Sardinia in spring means:
- jade‑clear water,
- quiet, tourist‑free bays,
- rose‑granite cliffs,
- a gentle Mediterranean breeze.

It’s the perfect place to begin: the sea is warm, nature is vibrant, and the atmosphere is relaxed. We’ll cruise along the coast, drop anchor in scenic spots, restock in small marinas — and then head for open water.

2. Crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea — true sea practice
Between Sardinia and Sicily lie stretches of pure open water.
Here you’ll feel:
- a steady breeze,
- a gentle March–April swell,
- hands‑on navigation and course‑keeping,
- night watches,
- stars over the water with no city lights.
It’s a rare chance to sail a beautiful and safe offshore leg of the Med.

3. The Aegadian Islands — the pearls of Sicily
The Egadi archipelago is one of Italy’s most underrated corners:
- Favignana — turquoise lagoons, old tuna factories, an island made for bikes;
- Levanzo — silence, crystal‑clear water, stunning coves;
- Marettimo — a true paradise: cliffs, caves, impossibly clear water.
In spring it’s especially lovely: the hills are green, tourists are few, the water is clear, and the sea is calm.
This is where we’ll make several stops to rest, fish, snorkel, and enjoy the islands’ silence.

4. Final point — sunny, multi‑layered Palermo 🇮🇹
Palermo is:
- Arab, Spanish, and Italian architecture in one city;
- amazing markets: fish, fruit, spices;
- world‑class street food;
- palaces and the atmosphere of a great port.
We’ll sail into the city from the sea — one of the most beautiful arrivals to Sicily.

Here our journey ends: a lively city after quiet islands — the perfect contrast.
