Why charter this Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 - 4 + 2 cab.
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 12,6 m, this catamaran works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 - 4 + 2 cab. suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 4 heads. The catamaran beam is useful at anchor, but marina planning needs wider berth options and earlier docking choices.
The Egadi islands and west Sicily from Marsala
The Egadi islands are a week’s sailing in themselves from Marsala, low offshore and close enough to reach on day one, but a marine reserve with anchoring rules that shape where you can lie. Favignana is the natural first call in a calm channel; a fresh day is better sat out in Marsala’s marina, among the salt pans and windmills, than forced across. The nearest airport is Trapani (TPS), a short drive away, and Palermo (PMO) the longer haul. Beyond Favignana, Levanzo and far Marettimo sit across more open water, best taken on a calm morning with the return begun before the afternoon wind. Marsala itself, the town that gave the world its fortified wine, is the easy base to come back to.
