Description

Positioned less than 20 kilometers from St. Raphaël and very close to Cap Roux , Calanque de Maubois is one of the most beautiful bays near the Massif de l’Estérel.
Here, in the Les Trayas area, the coast is high and rocky, with a deep red color.
The bay is an excellent spot to anchor to be protected from most winds, including those from the west, which in this part of the French Riviera are the most insidious for sailors.
The most protected part of the gully is the central part, where you can stop even at night,remaining well sheltered.
The only detail to pay attention to is the possibility of swell from the waters off the coast in strong winds.
Laying anchor here is generally quite safe, however, as you enter the gully, you should pay attention to the isolated rock that emerges a meter from the water near the southeastern tip of the bay, at a ruined dwelling.
Another rock to watch out for when navigating is located northeast of the gully.
Therefore, to avoid these obstacles, it is best to always keep to the central area as you enter the bay.
There is a bar and a parking lot near the bay for those arriving at the gully from the mainland.
For those coming from here, access to the beach is via a flight of steps.
The seabed of the calanca is full of charm, filled with varied fauna and flora and will delight all scuba diving enthusiasts.
Hiking enthusiasts will also find a little piece of paradise in this area, between the waterfalls of Cap Roux and the beauty offered by the forests of the Massif de l’Estérel.
The Calanque de Maubois beach is a mixture of sand and red stones-typical of the area-that contrast with the blue sea and lush Mediterranean scrub.
Although its beauty is known to all those who are in the habit of sailing in this part of the French Riviera, the bay remains a fairly quiet place even in summer. The Calanque de Maubois is an excellent starting point to reach Cap Dramont and the Fréjus beaches or, going slightly up the coast, to reach the Golfe de la Napoule and Cannes.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! Tuttobarche.it 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 Tuttobarche.it 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.
