OUR PHILOSOPHY and MISSION ECO BLUE FRIENDLY Aquamarine follows the eco-sustainable philosophy in all the activities it offers, spreading an ECO-FRIENDLY lifestyle for the sea and the surrounding environment. Aquamarine opposes the tendency that often imposes a certain adaptability, which clashes with the need to exploit everything, immediately and in excessive quantities, which is the cause of the deterioration of our world. Even though scientific progress in the ecological field is enormous, changing one's habits in this sense is not always easy. The encounter with the SEA arouses one of the greatest emotions that man can feel in the presence of nature, the environment that most inspires respect and water, which from an unconscious point of view recalls the maternal womb and our birth Living ECO BLUE FRIENDLY means taking all the measures needed to pollute less, to avoid waste which not only saves us money, but also reduces our quantity of "pollution” that we inevitably pour onto the planet.

THE EGADI ARCHIPELAGO The Egadi archipelago is located at the western end of Sicily, a few miles from Trapani, and is made up of the islands of Favignana, Levanzo, Marettimo, the islet of Formica and the rock of Maraone. The Egadi islands are set in splendid crystalline waters, and are home to a rich and varied marine flora and fauna. The Egadi Islands have been a crossroads of peoples in every era. The first human settlements date back to the Paleolithic era, when small tribes of primitive men crossed the thin strip of land that connected Levanzo and Favignana to Sicily, unlike Marettimo which, having separated from the mainland, was already an island. Places where time seems to have stopped in the small villages, in the remains of the Tonnare, in the fishermen's nets, in the chapels of the green enameled churches, in the islands that were once the scene of battles and Arab and Phoenician influences. Breathe in Sicilian culture through its many nuances: in the sunset on the Egadi islands, taste the most refined dishes of Sicilian cuisine, walk through the streets rich in history, swim in crystal clear waters full of legends.

The high peaks of the Zingaro slope down to the sea, the green of the Mediterranean scrub mixes with the red of the rocks and plunges into the blue of its splendid waters. Small bays paved with white pebbles, a sea that during the day is tinged with unexpected shades of green and blue, sharp rocks that separate the different beaches, Mediterranean scrub that seems to dive into the sea and ancient farmhouses built on the rock. A mix of nature and discreet presence of man.

SAILING ETIQUETTE Rules of etiquette for being a welcome guest Sailing Etiquette Nautical etiquette has been developed over hundreds of years; it's a combination of real norms and unwritten rules that define how anyone on board a boat should behave. Seen through the eyes of someone who's never been aboard, sailing etiquette may seem like something from another era, a bygone era. In reality, the opposite is true; those unwritten rules are still very much alive and well today and considered fundamental by those who truly "live" sailing. Of course, we're not talking about mere aesthetics, but rather rules of behavior and respect for all onboard personnel and the sea. Yes, because the etiquette of a good sailor also includes respect for the sea, both in port and at sea. So, if you've been invited aboard, this guide to sailing etiquette can be the way to ensure your first time isn't your last. What not to do on a boat? Rules of etiquette for being a welcome guest. Following the right rules of etiquette when you're a guest is never a given, especially when you're invited to spend time on a boat. Limited space, changeable weather conditions, and limited resources require us to pay attention to details that we might normally consider negligible but are essential when sailing. Only in this way can we ensure a pleasant experience and, above all, avoid uncomfortable situations for ourselves and other guests. GENERAL ETIQUETTE RULES: 1 – Arrive on time for boarding. 2 – Before boarding, remember to remove your shoes. Wait until you're told when you can board, or even better: ask permission to board. 3 – Sunscreen should be applied before boarding. In case you need to reapply, bring a towel and be careful not to stain the upholstery or fiberglass. 4 – Even if it's a simple speedboat trip, find out in advance what supplies are needed for the trip, and always bring water with you. For longer trips, on boats where meals are served, it's essential to have clear rules. The guest should bring a gift to thank them for their hospitality, such as a bottle of quality wine. 5 – If you're invited to a launching ceremony, find out whether there will be a maiden voyage or not, and dress accordingly. Remember to bring a gift for the occasion. Champagne or themed antiques, such as a compass or a map of the area where the vessel is docked, are usually appreciated. 6 – If the cruise includes travel to foreign ports, make sure you have all the necessary documents with you. 7 – Due to space constraints, hard-sided suitcases are not permitted on board; only backpacks and soft bags are permitted. Always ask where you can store your belongings, and keep your personal belongings grouped together so as not to create clutter in the common areas. 8 – Always ask for your assigned seat and move promptly if asked to do so. Especially on sailboats or small boats, the balance of the crew's seating is crucial for a successful navigation. Also, always remember to check that your legs are not blocking the passageway or impeding the maneuverers. 9 – Respect other crew members and remember that the captain is always in charge: if smoking is prohibited, do not smoke; if silence is requested, remain silent; if you soil something with food or drink, clean up the mess yourself; under no circumstances is it permitted to throw garbage into the sea. 10 – Be available to assist with boat operations if requested. 11 – If you are accompanied by children, keep them under close supervision and do not let them move around the boat unattended. Do not allow them to move objects, touch electronic equipment, or mess with lines and cables. 12 – When disembarking, apply the same principles as when boarding. Wait until you are told when it is the right time to disembark; if the boat is far away or rocking, wait. Ask those on the boat to hand you bags and personal belongings once you reach the dock. Do not make sudden movements that could cause you to lose your balance. 13 - Do not go down to the deck (inside the boat) without the captain's permission. 14 - Do not camp or lie down on the dinette (interior sofas), and do not put your feet up. You are not at home, and you would never go to someone's house with your feet up on the sofa, so don't do it on a boat either. Article by https://www.elisamotterle.com/galateo-in-barca/ THE BASIC RULES: • Maintain a sober and elegant demeanor on board, avoiding loud conversations, especially when in port. • When leaving port early in the morning, avoid making unnecessary noise and disturbance, so as not to disturb others resting on board. • Be cooperative on board, always maintaining a positive, friendly, and helpful attitude toward other crew members. • Be courteous; a distinguished but not arrogant demeanor is welcome; elegant manners are certainly desirable for life on board. • Do not litter; nothing should be thrown into the water, and if we find any waste, it should be hauled aboard and disposed of at the first available port. • Cleanliness: Keep your cabin and the boat clean. • Respect other people's space and arrange your personal belongings in an orderly manner. • Water Rationing: Be aware of the importance of rationing fresh water on board. • Avoid high heels and shoes. Crew Education: The captain will ensure that the crew is trained to respect the rules of the ship. Boating etiquette: how to dress. The dress code on a boat depends on the occasion. Those who have never sailed might easily think that a boat trip is synonymous with sunbathing in a swimsuit and sipping cocktails in a sarong. In reality, out at sea, especially on a sailboat, you're exposed to very strong winds as well as the splashes of the waves. So, when packing for your cruise, consider casual and comfortable clothing. Also, remember to come prepared to protect yourself from both cold winds and rain, as well as a fair amount of sun. A technical windbreaker and hat are essential. A swimsuit will be useful for a dip, but remember to cover up while sailing to avoid sunburn. Footwear is another matter: high heels are banned on boats, and the type of shoes you wear depends greatly on the type of vessel you're on. On a Friulian cruise ship, espadrilles, sandals, and sneakers, or even unlined moccasins are the right choice. On a friend's boat, we'll choose shoes with good grip and white soles to avoid dirtying the deck. During a sailing vacation, we'll spend much of our time barefoot, so remember to get a thorough pedicure before departure. TIPS to the Captain - Skipper • On board, it's good practice to tip the captain and crew. You can leave a tip at the end of the tour/cruise.

Sicily is a magical land, bringing with it centuries-old stories and traditions. According to an ancient myth, it is said that Sicily was born from the dance of three Nymphs. They were going around the world crossing the sea, collecting stones, fruits and earth from the most fertile lands, dancing, when the three Nymphs came across a region with a clear blue sky. Attracted by this luminous land, these deities begin to dance while simultaneously throwing everything they had collected during their long journey into the sea. They thus move on the surface of the water, forming a triangle. It is then that from their dance an island begins to emerge with its three promontories, each at the point where each nymph danced. The promontories we are talking about are the most extreme points of Sicily, the very ones that give it its famous triangular shape: Capo Peloro to the North-East, Capo Passero to the South-East and Capo Lilibeo to the West. All the gifts of nature collected and then thrown by the three Nymphs form, according to this ancient legend, the three promontories that we all know today. This is exactly how Sicily was born, a land in the shape of an inverted triangle, with a mild climate and fertile land. From here, probably, one of the ancient names of Sicily was born, Trinacria, precisely to refer to the three vertices of the triangle from which the island was born. WESTERN SICILY Western Sicily is defined as that part of the Sicilian territory that overlooks the north-west coast of Sicily. It is made up of the metropolitan city of Palermo and the free municipal consortia of Trapani and Agrigento, which took the place of the three former provinces. The trait of it costs which from Palermo reaches up to Agrigento is characterized by a continuous alternation of sand and rock and will lead you to beautiful beaches and ravines that follow one another up to Gela. Dalla Mondello beach , visit the Zingaro Reserve and San Vito Lo Capo , to then reach a long sandy coast within a gulf that extends between the mouth of the Selino river and that of the Belice. The legend of Deli and Hades and the origins of the Egadi islands Before the rivers ran towards the seas, before the birds flew in the blue sky and the fields were plowed, there lived in a mysterious land, bathed by very blue waters, a beautiful young woman. Her name was Deli. She was hidden in that land far from her mother, conceived by secret love with the God Ares. The little girl was welcomed by the Dryads, the nymphs of the woods, who gave her a lot of love. Deli grew up healthy and strong but above all beautiful, loved by her animal friends and well-liked and protected by the entire forest. His smile made those places bright and its inhabitants happy. The news of the beauty of Deli, praised and appreciated, spread everywhere, becoming increasingly known, so much so that it was known even as far as the Underworld, the kingdom of Pluto (Hades according to Roman mythology), who was fascinated by it. The cruel deity then decided to lurk on Mount Erice, waiting to scrutinize the young woman. Deli had recently stretched out under a large oak tree, to enjoy the coolness that the thick branches made possible. Hades suddenly approached and tried in every way to forcefully obtain the girl. The plant under which this insane act was being carried out retracted its branches, making the violence and carnal act that was taking place visible to the Gods. A troop of guerrillas led by Ares soon descended to punish Pluto. However, the evil deity managed to defend himself from the attacks and defeat the entire army, including Ares. Those green and uncontaminated landscapes were stained with blood and the beautiful Deli resigned herself to her fate. The Gods of Olympus raised a cry of pain at the sight of the scene. Zeus held Deli's soul while Aeolus freed the light Zephyr, who breathed a breath of life into the young woman's body. Venus, coming down from Mount Ericino, took Deli's body and took her away from Pluto's perverse desires, beyond the waters of Drepanon, (Trapani). The young woman was transformed into an island, Favignana, and entrusted to the care of the Nereids, the sea nymphs, who assisted her until the birth of the demigods, Hiera and Pharbantia, the result of Pluto's violence. The beauty of the demigods is equal to that of the mother and is still admirable today. Favignana, a few kilometers from Trapani, looks carefully at its creatures, Marettimo and Levanzo, every day.
