Private Favignana boat charters: for groups who want it all
What a private charter gives you
A 24-seat boat, a skipper and crew who know the coves, your own schedule. You can spend 4 hours swimming in Cala Rossa if you want, or visit both Favignana and Levanzo at a slower pace. Lunch on board, an aperitif after, and nobody else in your group except your own people. It’s the escape-the-crowds option.
Real groups who book this: families (10–15 people), a wedding party, a company retreat, groups of close friends. You’re paying for flexibility and privacy, not luxury — the boat is the same class as the full-day tours, the food is the same.
When to book & cost per head
€1,580 for 24 seats. Divide by your group size:
- 10 people: €158 per head
- 15 people: €105 per head
- 20 people: ~€79 per head
- 24 people: €66 per head
So a group of 15–20 makes it cheaper than or comparable to the €105 full-day tour, and you get privacy and flexibility. Smaller groups (10 or fewer) pay more per head but get an entire boat to themselves.
What’s included
The boat, skipper, crew, lunch cooked on board, aperitif, and access to all the coves (Cala Rossa, Bue Marino, Cala Azzurra). Departure time is flexible — coordinate with the operator. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Who should book a private charter
Families wanting a day without crowds. Wedding groups. Companies doing a team day. Close friends who want their own boat. The break-even is around 15–20 people: at that point you’re paying less per head than the full-day tours and getting privacy, flexibility, and your own schedule.
The small-group full-day tours are another option
If your group is 8–12 people and you want to save money, the €105 full-day tour with a smaller group of strangers might be better value. Compare private vs. the full-day tours.

Frequently asked questions
Is €1,580 really the whole price? Any hidden costs?
Yes, €1,580 is the price for the boat. No per-person charges. The lunch and aperitif are included. Bike rental on the island (€5–10) is extra if you want it.
Can we set our own itinerary?
Yes. Coordinate with the operator when you book. Most boats hit the main coves (Cala Rossa, Bue Marino, Levanzo) by default, but you can request more time at specific spots or a different route. The skipper knows the conditions and will advise on what’s safe.
How many people do we need for it to be worth it?
The break-even is around 15–20 people. At 20 people, you’re paying ~€79 per head, which is competitive with full-day tours but you get privacy. At 10 people, you’re paying €158 per head, which is higher but you have an entire boat to yourselves.
What if not all seats are filled? Can we book for fewer people?
Yes. You pay €1,580 regardless of group size. So you could book for 5 people and have a very spacious private boat.
Can you arrange a departure time that suits us?
Usually yes. Coordinate when you book. Most boats leave early morning or mid-morning. The operator will work with you.
