Experience an adventure on the turquoise sea: a boat trip to Favignana, the jewel off Sicily!

When the wind takes a break in Sicily, it’s time for a trip to the Egadi Islands. The coastline of Favignana reveals hidden coves, white sandy beaches and rocky shores that invite you to explore. Swim in the enticing waters, snorkel in underwater worlds teeming with life, or simply enjoy the sun on the deck.

So, here we go! What do we take with us on the boat? Our bathing suits, a towel, a sun hat, sunscreen of course, our snorkeling gear, plenty of water, delicious Italian snacks for refreshment and a cool drink for the evening aperitif.

So we usually start our boat day at Saro – because here you can get a large selection of paninis, small other snacks to take away or other delicacies. We also stock up on drinks and fruit at the supermarket and the fruit store Maria.

The boat starts at the beach of San Teodoro. Here we load up all our stuff, stow our backpacks and then we’re off! We are heading towards Favignana, the largest of the Egadi islands. But of course the way is the goal! On the way to Favignana we stop after about 30 minutes at the first bay. Here turquoise water and an exciting underwater life awaits you! Jump with snorkel and fins into the cool water and discover many small fish. Back at the boat it’s time for the lunch snack. Strengthened and relaxed we continue and reach the second bay, Cala Rossa. Here many small boats are already moored, because in Sicily a boat trip around the Egadi Islands is popular and almost everyone here owns his own boat.

After a second snorkeling round we go to Favignana and moor. Favignana has a beautiful old town, there is of course excellent ice cream and we sit down and enjoy an espresso in the sun. On the island you can also have a delicious lunch.
When eating on this enchanting island you can expect real delicacies from the depths of the sea. Let yourself be seduced by juicy shrimps, tender calamari and delicious mussels.
After a short break on the island we go back on the boat. We circle the island a little further and then find the bar Pura Vida.
We moor and go up to the bar, because it is located on the cliffs of Favignana. The beach bar Pura Vida invites you! Immerse yourself in the cool atmosphere of this bamboo bar. In front of you stretches a dreamlike view of the endless horizon of the ocean.

What to drink? Of course a refreshing Aperol Spritz – what else in Sicily!

After a successful Aperitif we start back towards San Teodoro. The sun is already slowly setting and you can see Sicily in an unbelievable light.
We go back to the starting point and leave the boat tired and happy. A boat trip to Favignana promises unforgettable moments that will take you to another world. So come on board and join us on this incredibly beautiful boat trip!

Lo Stagnone is not only the perfect spot to learn kitesurfing, but also the best place to get to know Sicilian specialties. And after all, a good kitesurfing day starts with the right breakfast. Whether a freshly squeezed orange juice and pistachio croissant at Café Molino or a hot cappucino with a view of the lagoon, we have our TOP 5 breakfast spots for you. Enjoy!

Café Molino
Café Molino is located in the small village of San Leonardo. This is where the kite scene meets in the morning to make kite plans for the day. Here you will find pistachio and chocolate croissants, delicious fresh coffee and orange juice and awesome sandwiches. Definitely the place to be in Lo Stagnone in the morning.

Oro Bianco
Even the journey to Oro Bianco is dreamlike, because this café is located directly on the lagoon. Here you can sip your coffee with a view of the salt flats and after breakfast you can take a walk along the lagoon to the spot.

Santa Maria
Below our kite school you will find the restaurant of the Hotel Santa Maria. Enjoy a delicious breakfast buffet with eggs, fresh cold cuts, coffee and juice. The view of the lagoon and the current wind forecast are included.

Sun Beach & Lido Playa De Rio
In Sun Beach as well as in Lido Playa De Rio you can drink your first coffee in the morning directly at the sea and enjoy a delicious croissant with a great view. You can also take a great walk on the beach afterwards. Both cafes are right next to each other, but they are only open from the summer months, so from May.
