Description

Enclosed between Pointe du Bon Renaud to the west and Pointe Prime to the east, Anse du Bon Renaud is one of the best known and most acclaimed bays on the island of Porquerolles. This bay is one of the very few places on the island that is ridged not only by southerly and southerly winds, but also by the Mistral. However, it is always good to pay attention to any gusts of wind, especially for those who have decided to anchor here to spend the night hours. The seabed in strong winds can lose some of its hold and boats can heel from their position, with a danger of collision with other boats. The bay has a fairly wide beach, the Plage de l’Argent, an expanse of fine and very clear sand, thanks to the considerable percentage of white quartz. It is one of the most popular and frequented beaches on the island: the presence of snack bars, showers, toilets, a first aid station and a security service in the summer period make it suitable for families with small children. In addition, it enjoys an optimal location, just one kilometer east of the ports, and is the only beach on the island to offer its bathers the possibility of renting equipment and inflatable mats. The beach de l’Argent was the first on the island of Porquerolles to be equipped to allow access for people with disabilities.
Access for those coming from the port area is pleasant and fairly short, about a fifteen-minute walk. From the bay du Bon Renaud one can enjoy a magnificent view of the eastern part of the island, the plage de Notre Dame, and the port.
The anchorage is also popular with those who practice scuba diving, due to the variety of the seabed rich in varied flora and fauna. Pointe du Bon Renaud is home to a 19th-century military fortress.
Porquerolles is part of the Parc National de Port Cros, an institution created to protect the precious ecosystem of the Hyères islands, and of the Sanctuaire Pelagos, an entity created in cooperation between France, Italy and the Principality of Monaco to safeguard the cetaceans living in the Mediterranean Sea.Anse du Bon Renaud is one of the most sheltered corners of Porquerolles and an ‘excellent base from which to explore the island.

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.
