From Cagliari to Trapani

From the lively island capital of Cagliari, this trip leads along Sardinia's varied south coast to Capo Carbonara. After an initial leg along the coast, the major crossing over the open Mediterranean begins. Around 150 nautical miles lie between Sardinia and the Egadi Islands – a demanding passage that, in suitable weather, rewards with a night at sea and an intense sailing experience.

After arrival, Favignana and Levanzo await with crystal-clear water, impressive rocky bays and the relaxed atmosphere of the Egadi Islands. Weather permitting, there is time to explore the island world off Sicily's west coast before the trip ends in Trapani. The historic port town with its lively old town, the famous salt pans and Erice perched high above the coast provides an atmospheric conclusion to this sailing week.

This trip combines relaxed coastal sailing along Sardinia with a genuine offshore passage and the finest aspects of western Sicily. It is particularly suited to sailors who appreciate longer passages and wish to experience the special feeling of a crossing over the open sea.

You sail with a maximum of 3 other participants on a Beneteau Oceanis 43 built 2007 (owner's yacht) with German safety certificate for worldwide cruising, comfortably equipped with watermaker, solar panels, electric winches, Starlink and much more.
