Yacht charter
Last updated on 8 April 2025
Formerly known as 'Goat Island', this superb island covers 19 km² and is famous for tuna fishing. However, this does not prevent it from standing out in terms of tourism. Every year, visitors flock there to enjoy its crystal-clear sea with mysterious cavities and caves to the side of the boat.

The island is part of the nature reserve of the islands of the same name as the archipelago. The archipelago is located just off Trapani and enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate. Although the island seems devoid of lush vegetation due to deforestation, it can count on the garrigue and maquis to embellish it with a very pretty mantle of greenery.
The island of Favignana will not disappoint you, however, as it has a few curiosities to see, including the famous Tonnara. If you plan to drop anchor in the island in May, you can watch the capture and processing of large fish. Manttaza, the practice of turning away from the wind to catch tuna, is one of the events that is particularly popular with tourists visiting the island. And to make your visit to this paradise spot even more interesting, consider choosing a yacht charter on the island of Favignana. This will make it easier for you to discover and explore the other magnificent islands that embellish the archipelago.
The island of Favignana in summer
Before starting your sailboat charter in Sicily, take the time to explore this splendid Italian island. Covering an area of 33,000 km, Favignana is explored on foot. This option will allow you to enjoy more freedom during your voyage of discovery. The less experienced are invited to rent bicycles to make it easier for them to explore the island.
Climbing the mountain to reach the majestic fort, rising alone in the sky, is also a breathtaking experience! However, remember to bring the necessary items such as a cocked hat and comfortable clothes if you choose to undertake this venture in summer. After the mountain, return to the coast for a short walk on the beach to catch your breath.
