The guide cancelled on us but did he not tell us beforehand and he did not tell Viator. We even reached out the day before to confirm but he did not respond or take the time to tell us the tour had been cancelled. We showed up to the meeting point the day of and no one showed up. As a result, we couldn't book another boat on such short notice and wasted our last day in Sicily. Very unprofessional and unreliable so would not recommend these guys.

Itinerary
Tour of the most beautiful views and the most evocative coves of Favignana, such as Cala Rossa, Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino, with stops for swimming, swimming and snorkelling. Rich aperitif with tasting of wines from the local Gandolfo winery and snack on board. Mooring at the port and one-hour visit to the town of Favignana. Once the excursion has been booked, passengers will be provided with the exact position of the meeting point, adjacent to the dinghy dock, located in Marsala in the Dammusello district. Once you reach the meeting point, you will be greeted by the Skipper, a guide who will be recognizable by the blue polo shirt with the visible logo "Navigare le Egadi". At the end of the day, everyone will be presented with a nice souvenir, consisting of an envelope with a bottle of Marsala Gandolfo wine, a small mill and a small bag of salt from the Marsala salt pans.
arrived in Cala Rossa we could snorkel to admire the seabed and dive into the crystal clear water.
Cala Azzurra is the first Cala we see coming from Marsala. One of the most beautiful coves both for its blue water and for its seabed. along the coast there is also a small beach that can be reached by swimming where you can make clay mud.
Bue Marino is the most suggestive area of Favignana, both for the color of the turquoise water and for the presence of quarries dug both by man to extract the tuffs since ancient times and by the erosion of the sea. There are small caves where you can snorkel and admire the very suggestive seabed. The stop in these caves always depends on the sea currents.
Stop in the village of Favignana to admire the village with its small streets and bars, where you can enjoy a splendid granita. You can visit the Florio Museum and Turtle Center and the Tonnara di Favignana.

Cancelled the tour, reached out on WhatsApp to book direct and when we reached the meeting point there was no English speaking captain or Guide. Both the boys kept smoking every 30 seconds and we had to come back wasting three hours of drive to and from. Viator should remove this company from their platform, not reliable at all.
Great day out, lots of stops for snorkelling Use factor 50 frequently ! Highly recommend for trip to favignana and the coast
Strongly recommend the boat trip! We spent a thrilling day exploring the prettiest bays of the island. Ignatio is very flexible and kind, treated us with tasty food and delicious wine from his own production!🫶
Wonderful sea trip. Nice and safe boat. We were swimming in most beautiful waters around Lavignana. Ignatio is very profesional and kind host. Lunch was delicious. Do not forget to taste a Marsala vine from vinery owned by Ignatio. Strongly recomended.
We spent a spectacular day around Favignana and its beautiful coves and beaches and it was the highlight of our trip to Marsala. Our hosts were wonderful and extremely welcoming and caring. also the food and wine were absolutely delicious. we highly recommend this trip if you come around this beautiful corner of Sicily
I cannot recommend this enough! We’ve had such an amazing day and we’re taken care so well by Ignacio. He knew all the beautiful spots to take us to and nothing was too much. He arranged a lunch in the boat which consisted of three different types of sandwiches. Tuna was our favorite! We tasted two different types of wines he makes: all I can say is that we were sorry we’re flying back home, if we were driving we would definitely bring back a case. And to top it all of, he arranged a cake for us as it was our wedding anniversary. Definitely a highlight of our visit to this beautiful island!
Thanks Ignazio for an amazing trip to crystal blue beaches of Favignana. Very friendly guide. Quick response to our booking request.
The tour was wonderful! Ignacio provided a great experience. We visited many breathtaking beaches and locations. He provided a delicious lunch with many options; and also provided a local wine that he produces- it was amazing! He was so accommodating and attentive. We loved this experience and would recommend it personally to family and friends.
Wonderful day, we reached the island of Favignana and admired its beautiful crystal-clear waters, visiting the coves recommended by our skipper! Safe and clean boat, friendly staff willing to meet any need!!
Spectacular experience thanks to the fantastic guide Leonardo. Professional, attentive, and capable of making this excursion unique. Great attention to high-quality, tasty, locally produced food. The tour was beautiful and fun.
BEAUTIFUL TOUR, I highly recommend it.
All very nice. Tour absolutely to recommend. Nice and competent people. Willingness to agree also requests to stop for visits on land
We had a very nice day on the boat. We were shown very nice coves and it was a pleasant atmosphere. The tourguids are very friendly and helpful. Would do it again anytime!
Beautiful day, we were able to visit only 3 coves of the 5 scheduled (due to strong wind on one of the lativdell'isola di Favignana), friendly staff, reasonable price, to be redone.
Tour to Favignana unforgettable thanks to the Guide of Ignatius, the kindness of his wife Simona and the sympathy of little Martha. They accompanied us to hidden coves with crystal clear waters and breathtaking blue. The day was enriched by a wine tasting of their winery, which made the experience even more special. Lunch on board with delicious local products, everything perfect!
Impeccable visit in a breathtaking panorama among the most beautiful coves and beach of Favignana, lulled by the kindness of Ignatius, Simona and the graceful Martha. Impeccable organization with maximum availability of adaptation during the itinerary enriched by food and drinks (cunzato bread and wines produced by the Owner) typical of the place. Absolutely pleasant experience and to be repeated sooner or later! Highly recommended
The tour with Ignacio, Simona and Martha was fantastic. Everything worked out great. We were received punctually at the meeting point Contrada de Spagnola. Our needs have been taken into consideration. We could take as much time in the bays to swim, dive and relax as we wanted. Also a short stay in Favignana town was yours.The wine tasting and snack was great. It was a beautiful day. Thank you very much
It was a day we will not forget. We enjoyed crystal clear waters and enchanting landscapes with the guide and especially the company of Ignacio, Simona (very sweet hostess) and little Marta, amazing creature. Excellent care also in lunch and tastings. People attentive to the needs of customers, we felt like family. Experience also suitable for children who will return home with eyes full of wonder 🩵
Well, last Sunday we took a boat trip to the beautiful island. The bays where we came were beautiful and the lunch was well catered for. Furthermore, it felt like we were on a family trip of the skipper, his wife and his daughter. There was virtually no interaction or explanation, logical because they barely spoke English. That was a shame and not what we are used to from other boat trips we have done in Italy. The wine tasting could not have a name, we got two bottoms of wine in a plastic cup, without explanation about the wine. Being on the water and snorkeling is always wonderful but we would personally choose a party that has focus on the passengers.
Beautiful day, in good company and wonderful family We did as planned the various stages... One more beautiful than the other Lo consiglio!!!
Inazio and his family are lovely, make the experience unforgettable, the boat is very comfortable, sun and shade for the taste of the whole family we went and great appetizer with the delights of Sicily and Gandolfo vini wines and spirits! We will come back thank you for everything!
Dynamická jazda- výlet loďou bol nad naše očakávania, videli sme krásne zátoky ostrova Favignana s tyrkysovou farbou mora, zažili sme kúpanie v jaskyni, príjemne nás prekvapil chutný obed s čerstvým ovocím, ochutnávkou miestneho vína a príjemnou hudbou. Cely výlet sa niesol v skvelej atmosfére so šikovným kapitánom. Ďakujem a odporúčam👏
Beautiful day spent in company to discover the most beautiful coves of Favignana. All seasoned with the familiar and welcoming environment of Ignatius, Simona and little Martha. Attentive to the details and needs of each guest, they carefully chose the various stops depending on the wind, making us fully enjoy every single moment. The aperitif turned out to be a lunch, with typical products and the delicious wine produced by Ignatius. Fortunately we had organized the excursion at the beginning of our holiday and having been excited about the experience we were able to book for a second day! CONSIGLIATISSIMO!!
Tours in Favignana guided by the experience of Ignazio, a really competent skipper and pleasant company together with his wife Simona. Thanks to them we could swim in wonderful coves with crystal clear water and a unique turquoise! Great lunch on board with local products. TOP experience, thank you!
Ignazio, Simona and the little and very nice Marta will accompany you to discover Favignana in a friendly and familiar atmosphere. All accompanied by tastings of local wines produced in Ignazio's cellar. The right company for a trip to heaven.
Beautiful experience. Favignana offers extraordinary landscapes and will not disappoint for snorkelling lovers. Simona and Ignazio were very helpful and kind. Their experience will help you explore the most beautiful and wind-sheltered coves to enjoy the boat in the best possible way. Delicious wines from Ignazio's cellar, he passionately talks about his artisan activity (we will order Marsala to drink at home too) Highly recommended experience, it is different from all other standard tourist experiences!
An excursion that I recommend to everyone! Ignazio and Simona, they are two special people, courtesy, safety and conviviality for everyone 😎 sustained aperitif at 1pm or a little more, a snack at 4.30pm/5pm to say goodbye Definitely a memorable day
All perfect. Kindness and attentive and thoughtful crew. We had a great time. Thanks again to Ignazio, Simona and Marta. You are beautiful people. It was an unforgettable experience. We hope to do it again next year.
Ignazio and Simona make you feel like old friends, a beautiful excursion with abundant tasting of local products including wines. Enchanted place and large dinghy for greater safety even with children on board. Absolutely perfect to do, thanks friends
Thank you for these wonderful memories! We highly recommend Navigare le Egadi. Ignazio and his family gave us a wonderful day. The discovery of Isola di Favignana was an unforgettable experience!
We had a great time thanks to Ignazio, thank you very much! The boat tour is complete and we take the time to enjoy each post. The food was good, as was the wine. Well done !
Sublime excursion to end our stay in Sicily. In the company of the skipper Ignazio, his wife Simona and their daughter Marta you can discover and enjoy the crystal clear waters of the island of Favignana. You will have some time for a stroll in the small village of Favignana and the rest of the time will be devoted to discovering the best places for swimming and snorkeling in the most beautiful coves of the island. Between one swim and another, a hearty lunch aperitif based on local products and wine produced by Ignazio! (included in the excursion). Recommended with your eyes closed! Grazie grazie grazie!
It was a pleasant experience, the lunch and the wine tasting were pleasant and above all very careful for those who are intolerant (in this case to lactose). The Skipper (Ignazio) and his wife (Simona) were very nice and prepared. I recommend a dinghy experience with them.
We spent a wonderful day on a dinghy in Favignana. Everything was perfect, from the organization to the food (especially the wine at lunch and as an aperitif was much appreciated). Super recommended
We took part in this tour with my girlfriend on 08/15. Departure at 9.30am from Marsala and return at 5.30pm. Extremely pleasant day. Ignazio and Simona, husband and wife owners of the dinghy, were truly excellent company. Never intrusive or detached. Also a little guest of the day was his daughter Marta, a very nice 6 year old girl. In this pleasant atmosphere we took a tour of the coves of Favignana with attached bathrooms and an hour's stop on the island to visit the centre. Upon returning to the boat we had lunch with some typical rotisserie dishes from the area and some wines produced by Ignazio, which were really very good. An extremely welcome thing, none of them ever rushed us to return, as often happens with those who do this job only for money and don't enjoy the day together with the passengers. Highly recommended experience!
Highly recommended excursion!! Ignazio and Simona are two excellent company people who make you spend your time very pleasantly. After visiting various coves and docking in the port of Favignana for a short visit, we returned to the sea where we were offered a hearty aperitif as well as a tasting of local wines and spirits. An experience I would do again!
If you visit Sicily without taking a trip to Favignana, you will really miss a gem... Sailing with Ignazio and Simona was a pleasure. A complete excursion. Visits to 5 anchorages including the swimming village among the fish in crystal clear and rare blue waters. Crazy!!! Meals on board. Good atmosphere and maximum 10 people on board. Good friendly times. A little happiness. Go for it...!! A real contact to remember!
Unique dinghy experience. We left from Marsala and made several stops in the splendid coves of Favignana. The crystal clear water is an indescribable blue. The crew on board was welcoming and we felt like family. I recommend this tour to everyone, adults and children. ABSOLUTELY MUST BE REPEATED!!!
Amazing day ! We loved the day on the boat alongside Ignazio, Simona and Marta. thank you for everything
Beautiful day! Leaving from Marsala towards Favignana we made several stops (including Cala Rossa, Cala Azzurra and another on the south coast). For lunch we stopped in Favignana town and took a tour. Ignazio and his wife prepared an excellent interlude in the afternoon with stuffed sandwiches and sandwiches. Before returning to Marsala in the afternoon we tasted an excellent Moscato with cantucci. If you want to have this type of experience, we highly recommend them.
A stop on our Sicilian tour that will leave its mark thanks to the Naviga Egadi team who made the tour on Favignana unforgettable thanks to the savoir faire friendliness of the tour organizers Ignazio and his family who gave us a magnificent day between laughter, baths and a mix of Sicilian culture thanks also to their typical Sicilian lunch and the tasting of local wine produced by the family itself To end everything in style between one dive and another there is also an aperitif with tasting of liqueurs and how not to mention the sea of the sun and the seabed visible also thanks to the possibility of having masks available on the dinghy In short we couldn't ask for anything better Thanks again to Ignazio and his family for welcoming us on his dinghy and who knows maybe see you next year Kisses from France 🇫🇷
Extraordinary experience that I absolutely recommend! If you plan a trip to Favignana you cannot help but contact "Navigare le Egadi"... Ignazio, a competent and reliable captain, will take you to discover the most beautiful bays on the island. Also unique are the friendliness and courteous welcome and hospitality of Simona and little Marta in the dinghy. Really top crew! And I also applaud the food offered and the tasting of exquisite self-produced wines in the family winery! In short, a perfect day
Beautiful experience, top day. 🤩 Ignazio with his super crew Simona and Marta welcomed us, pampered us and made us enjoy the wonderful bays of Favignana. A day that will be impossible to forget, and the credit goes above all to them.
Excursion with TOP travel companions ... Travel companions as well as captains as they welcome you like family. Ignazio super captain always ready to help other boats, he knows the sea and the winds perfectly and always proceeds safely Simona, hyper active marine biologist And what about Marta, Ignazio and Simona's daughter who has been on the dinghy since she was 4 months old, a very smart and company girl? Reinforced aperitif on the boat with exquisite sandwiches stuffed with local products all accompanied by wine produced by Ignazio Gandolfo Vini But that's not all: before returning to port, we said goodbye to a delicious snack with typical sweets and almond wine, always produced by Ignazio. All day we were cradled by the beautiful waters of Favignana with the various shades from transparent blue to deep blue Ok I've gone on too long and I could continue writing about this experience but that's okay I'll leave some space for the image too Thanks again Ignazio Simona and Marta and I hope to see you soon... we will certainly be in touch about the wines ;) Sissy and Elijah
Dinghy trip found at the last minute, we were welcomed by a very kind family, Ignazio with Simona and Marta made us feel part of them, they told us anecdotes of the places and took us to the most beautiful coves in the area Lunch then, eaten all together, was truly a beautiful and above all good moment, thanks also to the wines produced by Ignazio himself. I absolutely recommend this experience!
Ignazio, Simona and little Marta made us have an amazing day. We didn't feel like guests but as adventure companions! Enchanting places and exhaustive and detailed explanations, we saw the passion and interest in making us enjoy this experience to the fullest. Lunch and snack with typical delicacies accompanied by the wines they produce, delicious. We will definitely be back because it was truly magnificent. Thank you guys!
It was a great day! Ignatius, Simona and little Martha are really good captains! With their joy they were able to explain every detail of the tour making the experience truly unique! Very good lunch in a dinghy enriched by the excellent wine produced by Ignatius is even more his Marsala. It really felt like spending a day with the family! Thank you guys, you were a guarantee!
There were five of us. (2 adults and 3 children between 3 and 13). Everything was very accommodating and safety was paramount. Since it was just our family, we had great flexibility. People have been completely guided by our needs and wishes. It was an unforgettable experience, especially because we had seen dolphins immediately on the crossing!!:) The food was very, very good and way too much:) Also the wine tasting was great! Anytime again! Great value for money! Big praise to the guide (daddy) and his adorable daughter <3
Good accessibility and parking at the meeting point. Quick answers to previous questions via WhatsApp. Very friendly and courteous Italian speaking boat driver. Great bays with crystal clear waters make this trip an experience in a small, private group.
