Description

Portonovo Bay is located in the Marche region in the province of Ancona. The area is beautiful and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Adriatic Sea, very organized from all points of view.

There are many local associations that offer all kinds of information and entertainment for the many tourists who come to vacation in these parts.

The natural bay is protected from the north by a cliff more than 1 km long of which only 700 meters are emerged and the others are below sea level. This long rock wall is called “The Beams” and bounds the northern part of the bay.

At the southern end is a wide beach on which stands a crenellated tower, called the “Watchtower,” which was built in 1716 to thwart pirate raids.

In later years, this tower was used by artists and poets as a spiritual retreat, including the vate Gabriele D’Annunzio where he composed the novel L’acqua tace set in Portonovo.

There is also a pier on the beach about 25 meters long perpendicular to the coast where, however, docking is prohibited except in cases of extreme necessity; boats can drop anchor along the reef The Beams, redoubled by all winds from the northwest.

It is possible to anchor at a minimum distance of 50 meters from the coast along the entire area close to the reef for about 200 meters on the Portonovo village side.

The anchorage’s seabed is muddy and gravelly, not very deep and fairly even, and the winds that can bother are those from the north and northeast.

There are two yellow flashing buoys in the Anchorages that mark underwater artificial reefs, and there is an area of very shallow water with semi-outcropping rocks that is not marked.

The pebble and stone beach is equipped with bathing establishments and all kinds of services, including restaurants, bars, stores and toilets. The Conero Riviera is world-renowned for its wild and unspoiled scenery and the sea is clear and transparent awarded the blue flag.

In the Conero Regional Park, all possible beach and sports activities can be enjoyed, and just a few kilometers away is the well-equipped city of Ancona with its port.

To contact the port, one must tune in to VHF channel 16 or send an e-mail message to ancona@guardiacostiera.it.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
