and solitary Egadi Islands, Favignana

territory. The real Sicily.
THE EXPERIENCE AND THE CREW
The participants to the Kite Catamaran
Camp after embarking at the port
of Marsala will sail along the coast
and every night will stay in a different
location. The navigation, the life
on board and the stopover ports of
this holiday pursue the main goal of
the guests: kite as much as possible
in the best Sicilian spots depending
on weather conditions. Aboard, they
will be taken good care of by captain
Francesco Balestrieri, a skipper with
an extensive experience in charters,
sailing and of these coasts but also
chef and kitesurf instructor, and Andrea
Alagna, one of the best riders
in the Stagnone as well as qualified
instructor with a pure passion for the
sea. They will take care of the storage
of the equipment on-board, assist
the riders during launch and landing
of the kites, and provide everyone,
beginners and experts, maximum
support for safety and fun.
