Description

Positano Bay is one of the most famous inlets on the Amalfi Coast.

Near Marina Grande beach there is a dock with an iron pier. Docking in this area is allowed only in the first 38 meters of the dock, and only scheduled hydrofoils and ships authorized for tourist transport are allowed to dock there.

For pleasure boats, however, it is possible to moor at the buoy near the town’s main marina (300/400 meters from the beach), in areas equipped by local mooring cooperatives. The cooperatives also provide a transfer service to the shore for customers who do not have a tender on board or who want to use it to disembark
In any case, it is not possible to moor in the area adjacent to the dock and care must be taken not to occupy the route of hydrofoils or obstruct their navigation.

There are no fueling areas or food outlets in the immediate vicinity of the landing. However, restaurants, stores and a fuel pump can be found in the Marina Grande area.

Alternatively, it is possible to give anchor near the beaches of Fornillo (west of Marina Grande), Arienzo and Laurito (east of Marina Grande).
However, it is strongly discouraged to moor near beaches in quadrant II and III winds.
Whether you choose to moor at the buoy or give anchor in the bay, it is definitely worth going ashore and visiting Positano, a paradise of colors, majolica domes and fragrant gardens overlooking the sea.

Marina Grande offers a spacious beach (as well as several clubs and businesses) and is the starting point for many excursions along the Coastal routes. The smaller beaches (Fiumiciello, Fornillo) are very picturesque and generally less crowded than Marina Grande.

Climbing to the top of the village, one enters a small labyrinth of narrow streets and stairways, discovering the small glimpses of sea views and the many local craft stores.

The bay of Positano is an ideal starting point for setting sail to the other destinations on the Amalfi Coast, all of which are within easy reach. For those who do not wish to make use of the boat, it is also possible to reach Amalfi and the Sorrento Peninsula by using the regular buses that pass through the town.
Sorrento is 14 miles from Positano Bay.To reach Agropoli, one of the first landings on the Cilento Coast, the journey is about 28 miles.

For hiking lovers, Positano is also one of the ideal places to venture along the Path of the Gods. You start from the hamlet of Nocelle and walk along a path of unspoiled nature, poised between sky, sea and land.

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.
