Leaving four of his fourteen vessels to maintain the watch over Livorno, van Galen took his remaining ten ships to intercept Badiley's squadron.

The Phoenix was captured by the Jaarsveld, while the other English warships retreated into Porto Longone.

The captured ship, Phoenix, was recaptured 2 months later during a night raid at Livorno.

The squadron was convoying four merchantmen, who however took no part in the Action and made their way independently into Porto Longone.
