The Egadi Islands are also one of the most important locations for the tuna fish reproduction. Favignana (the biggest island of the reserve) in fact has been the queen of "mattanza", the ancient rite of tuna fishing, until the sea reserve was instituted. A fishing charter, authorized by the reserve, regardless of your experience level, will let you fish on the best offshore banks of the Egadi Islands, of the Sicily channel and Mediterranean Sea, with the best sportfishing equipments at your disposal. Find a captain to lead you in an exciting chase in blue waters, letting you live an unique adventure in harness with a still unsploit nature.
