About Favignana
Favignana's identity was built on the sea, and the best way to read it is from the water: the tufa quarries at Cala Rossa, the tuna traps that made the Florio family wealthy, and the low profile of the island seen from offshore. A cruise such as the Favignana Yacht Tour with Full Island Circuit and Food Tasting pairs the full coastline with a taste of island produce, while the Favignana & Marettimo: cruise through caves, coves and a fishing village adds the cave-riddled cliffs and working harbour life that give the Egadi their character.

Frequently asked questions
These cruises read the island rather than just anchor off it. You pass the flooded tufa quarries and cave systems cut into the cliffs, see the old tuna-trap installations that shaped Favignana's economy, and approach the harbour towns of Levanzo and Marettimo from the sea. The commentary and the route, not the swim stops, are the point.
