Description

Copanello anchorage is located along the Ionian coast in the province of Catanzaro in Calabria; the town is a hamlet of the municipality of Stalettì, located 8 km west of the anchorage. Copanello is one of the most renowned places in the entire Ionian Sea for beach holidays; it is located in the center of the Gulf of Squillace and has large beaches of fine sand mixed with rocks and cliffs. The town is surrounded by greenery, with typical Mediterranean vegetation, mountains and hills that slope gently toward the sea.

There are wonderful coves along the Riviera, such as that of Caminia, 6 km south of Copanello in the direction of Soverato. This location has one of the many caves in the area, making it popular with scuba diving enthusiasts. The coast is quite rugged and irregular, with coves and beaches of sand, rocks, stones and caves. The sea is beautiful and is popular with snorkeling and spearfishing enthusiasts.

Anchorages in Copanello are also comfortable because the area is quite breezy and even on days of summer heatwave there is always a light breeze. The bay in front of the beach is constantly crowded with boats because it is sheltered from winds and currents and is surrounded by spectacular scenery.

Since the 1960s, the Copanello Riviera with its beach has been the summer residence of people of a certain socio-economic level and is full of bars, restaurants, vacation resorts, stores and elegant hangouts. There is also the famous upscale piano bar La Rotonda sul mare that inspired Fred Bongusto‘s song.

In the village there are many places of great archaeological and architectural interest that in the 1980s were defaced by a number of illegal constructions, including theCopanello ecomoster, demolished in 2007 to build a green area. The anchorages are popular because the sea is among the most beautiful in all of Italy, the area is quiet and ideal for swimming and scuba diving in the caves.

In addition to the caves there are to visit the famous Cassiodorus tanks and the Vivarium, founded by Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus, who was presumably born in 485 AD and created the Vivarium in 555 AD. These are three large fish-breeding tanks still visible along the coast and 12 meters deep.

Coming ashore, the country is the typical elegant tourist beach resort where you can find everything, but those who want to take cultural vacations can also visit museums and historical sites, such as the house where Giuseppe Garibaldi slept in Stalettì di Copanello or the early Christian chapel of St. Martino.

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.
