Ports of departure to the Egadi islands
The Egadi islands can be reached by sea from the western tip of Sicily, specifically from Trapani (with Liberty Lines hydrofoils but also with Siremar ferries) and from Marsala only by hydrofoils. The archipelago also made up of many other islets, but the relevant islands are Favignana (the largest and best connected), Levanzo and Marettimo.
Trapani – Egadi route
For the port of Favignana the ferries departing from Trapani which is eighteen and a half kilometers away take just under an hour or an hour and twenty minutes if they first had to call at Levanzo; hydrofoils about half an hour. For the port of Levanzo, which is fifteen kilometers from Trapani, the crossing by ferry takes fifty minutes in case of direct travel, or one hour and twenty if it is planned to stop first in Favignana; hydrofoil can last from twenty-five to fifty minutes. For the port of Marettimo, which is the most distant (forty kilometers), with fast boats they spend more or less an hour and twenty minutes, while with the ferry more than two and a half hours.
Marsala – Egadi route
From Marsala, to the three major Egadi islands, depart only hydrofoils. For Favignana, twenty-three and a half kilometers away, takes half an hour; for Levanzo, twenty-seven kilometers away, an hour; for Marettimo, thirty-seven kilometers away, about an hour and a half. But the winter races can last even longer because they stop first in Favignana.
Inland navigation
From the port of Favignana it is possible to reach the port of Levanzo, by hydrofoil – in ten minutes – or by ferry – in twenty minutes and vice versa; and the port of Marettimo (and vice versa), with an hour and a half by ferry or thirty to fifty minutes by hydrofoil. Ferries and hydrofoils depart from the port of Levanzo to Marettimo (and vice versa) taking an hour by boat, or thirty to forty-five minutes.
