Description

Nestled between the cape of Cap Ferrat and the small peninsula of Pointe Saint-Hospice,Anse de Lilong is a very picturesque bay on the Côte d’Azur

The calanque is actually part of a larger bay, divided in two by a tongue of land: to the right is theAnse des Fossettes (or des Fossés), to the left is the Bay de Lilong, both of which are popular with boaters as alternative anchorages to the Villefranche-sur-Mer anchorage.

The Lilong anchorage is more sheltered from east and west winds and is less exposed than its western neighbor, especially in the central part. However, it is still an open bay on the open sea, so the possibility of swell from south and southwest currents is always present, and in this case it is good to seek shelter elsewhere.

Although it is a very characteristic and renowned bay, it is almost never subject to overcrowding, even during peak season.
Many boaters choose to stay overnight at anchor in this bay, to enjoy the peace provided by the night hours. However, staying in the evening is recommended only when the weather is favorable.
Within the cove are a series of free concrete or wooden piers, useful for landing on land with a tender, frequented by small fishermen, from which to enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding hills, villas and dense Mediterranean scrub.

The beach in the bay is the Plage des Fosses, stretching for about 300 meters and consisting of sand and gravel.
The eastern part is overlooked by Avenue Vignon, while the eastern part is quieter because it is away from the road crossing, plus it enjoys the shade of the surrounding pine trees.
Some free showers can be found on the beach, while access for those coming from land can prove challenging because the closest available parking is near the ports of Saint Jean-Cap-Ferrat, where bars, restaurants, and mini-markets can also be found.

Anse de Lilong is a good starting point to reach Nice and the Monaco area.

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.
