The journey
The perimeter of the stays spans the north-west coast of Sicily.
Departing from Trapani or Marsala, the main objectives of the tour are the Egadi Islands, San Vito Lo Capo and the incredible Baia Santa Margherita: a scenario of rare beauty, exceptionally preserved and wild, where kilometres of cliffs stand out against heavenly beaches.
Days at sea will be dedicated to learning the manoeuvres and techniques of coastal navigation.
Thousands of climbing routes await us in San Vito, for all styles and levels.
But don’t forget to discover the local gastronomy!
Everyday life
The day begin around 9am and end at 6pm.
during both sailing and climbing sessions, time will be mainly reserved to practice without neglecting the theoretical aspects crucial for a better technical progression.
The teaching programme will be set up by Andrea at the beginning of the stay in accordance with the weather forecasts, the level and expectations of the crew members.
Participants will be welcomed on board in the late afternoon the eve of departure. The first evening is an opportunity to get your bearings, plan the following days and get to know the equipment.
The first day is dedicated to getting familiar with the boat and assessing the level and expectations of each participant.
During the first week, navigations will follow one another with the aim of discovering the Egadi archipelago.
Most of the sailings will take place during the daytime with the aim of putting anchor or reaching a marina before nightfall.
The second week is dedicated to rock climbing on the countless cliffs around San Vito lo Capo.
For the climbing days, a picnic will be prepared to have a lunch break next to the crags.
Climbing sites are located in close proximity to the accommodation.
The last day is dedicated to the tidying up and departures.
