Lampedusa, Linosa & Lampione Sailing Expedition - Gozo to Gozo

7-day sailing expedition across the Sicily Channel

Starting and ending in Gozo, this offshore loop focuses on the Pelagie Islands and connects Linosa, Lampedusa, and the remote rock of Lampione. This is not a classic charter holiday. It is a multi-day sailing expedition built around real navigation, shared life on board, and exploration at sea. Plans are shaped by weather and sea state, not by a fixed tour schedule.

The route begins with a long first crossing from Gozo to Linosa, followed by a day of coastal sailing around Linosa’s volcanic shoreline and small bays. The loop then continues with an offshore passage to Lampedusa, where days are dedicated to coastal navigation on both the east and west sides. Stops are planned for swimming and lunch in clear-water coves, with time ashore in the evenings to enjoy the town and local food culture when conditions allow.

A dedicated day sail reaches Lampione, an uninhabited rock in the open sea, for a remote swim and snorkelling stop over clear seabed. The final stage completes the loop with the offshore passage back to Gozo.

Offshore passages take place in waters known for rich marine ecosystems. Encounters with dolphins or sea turtles are possible, but never guaranteed and depend entirely on natural conditions.

Life on board follows the rhythm of the sea. Days are shaped by route choices discussed during daily briefings with the skipper and crew. Guests are welcome to take part in onboard routines and navigation activities according to their skills and interests, within a safe and supportive environment.
