Description

Baie du Langoustier is located in the northwestern part ofรŽle de Porquerolles, abutting Pointe Sainte-Anne.

Porquerolles is part of the รŽles d’Hyรจres and is a popular destination for yachtsmen sailing in the Hyรจres region, one of the most picturesque areas of the Cรดte d’Azur.
Its bays are protected by state regulation that aims to protect their ecosystem, and they are very famous among scuba divers for the beauty of their seabed.

The anchorage du Langoustier is well protected from easterly and southerly winds but, like almost all the bays on the island, it offers no shelter from the mistral wind. In that case, it is best to seek shelter in theAnse du Bon Renaud, one of the few spots on the island to offer shelter from all winds.

The bay is part of a promontory that is connected to the rest of the island only by a thin strip of land. This tongue of sand is also the only geographic barrier separating the bay from Port Faye and the dark sand of the Plage Noire du Langoustier in the southern part of the island.
Those who arrive at the Bay du Langoustier find themselves surrounded by red rocks and lush, typically Mediterranean vegetation.

The anchorage is also accessible for those coming from the mainland: one must consider a little more than 30 minutes of bicycle riding along one of the island’s scenic paths. You are allowed to anchor in the bay at least 100 meters away from the bay’s main beach.
The bay’s beach is the Plage du Langoustier, located at the westernmost part of the inlet. It is a sandy beach, wild and without any kind of service, but very picturesque, from which to enjoy the beautiful view of theรŽle du Petit Langoustier to the left of the bay and- more in the distance- of the promontory of Giens.

The Bay du Langoustier area offers very few commercial activities. To find restaurants, bars, hotels and stores, one must approach the center of the island and the port area, about 4.5 kilometers away.

The Baie du Langoustier is a nice starting point for exploring the beauty of the Hyรจres area and the other islands in the Parc National de Port Cros, a protected area designed to protect the local fauna and flora.

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.
