Description

Enclosed in the northern part by the point of the same name,Anse de la Galère is one of the many beautiful bays on Île de Porquerolles in the Hyéres archipelago.

The anchorage is located in the southeastern part of the island, north of the Sèche des Sarraniers. It enjoys good shelter from westerly winds and offers a fair amount of shelter from the mistral wind in the northern part, close to Pointe de la Galère. Being very open in the southeast direction, the bay offers no protection from winds and wave motions from this direction. It is to be considered in any case as a point where to anchor exclusively on good weather days.

On Porquerolles Island, it is generally prohibited for motorized boats to approach with the engine running more than 600 meters from the shore. However, an access corridor has been established in the southern part of the bay to allow motorized boats to approach as well. However, it must be remembered that the maximum allowed speed -exceeding the 600-meter limit- is 12 knots. Once the 300-meter limit from the shore is crossed, the permitted speed limit is lowered to 5 knots.

The limit of boats that can occupy the bay’s body of water at the same time is 10 units

The bay offers a very wild environment, and those who come to these places find themselves surrounded only by rocks and pine forests, in a setting of absolute tranquility.
The only, very small beach is located in the central part of the cove. It consists of fine gravel, offers no services or amenities, and is far from any commercial activity.

Access for those arriving by land is quite difficult and requires a minimum of sporting aptitude: starting by bicycle from the plage de Notre Dame in the northern part of the island, follow the Piste de la Galère and arrive at the bay in an hour.
Some research begun in the 1980s on the shore of this bay has uncovered remains dating back to a settlement from protohistoric times.

Porquerolles Island is part of the Parc National de Port-Cros and there are many regulations in place to protect the local ecosystem.

TheAnse della Galère area is also popular with scuba divers because of the beauty of its seabed.

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.
