Description

St. Nicholas Bay is the best place on the island of Olib (Ulbo) to find shelter and anchor. Redoubt from bora and all winds except those from the west, however, not frequent. Good bottom holding. Also present is a small pier at the end of the bay with a 2-meter draft. The bay is named after the Benedictine monastery of the same name erected in the 12th century. The area is inhabited only in the summertime, and there are about a dozen buoys available at a cost of about 10 kuna (for each meter of the boat) plus 5 kuna each for tourist tax. 8 meters deep. Wanting to walk to the center of the island, it is possible to reach the main settlement in about 40 minutes by following the appropriate path.

When at anchor, one should expose the black balloon during the day, although this is a rule that is often not observed, while at night one should turn on the white light. It is also good to remember to do a compass check by surveying a couple of conspicuous points on the shoreline to check that the anchor is not plowing. Finally give cable for a length equal to 4 / 6 times the depth of the water, depending on conditions.

At the island there is also a small port of the same name, compared to the choice of the bay here you are less protected but in addition you can find water and electricity, garbage and oil hexosexual storage, as well as a couple of restaurants. Beware of water, there is no natural spring on the island so this comes from wells or rain. There is also a pier to which it is possible to dock with depths of 2.5 to 4 meters, watch out for the passage of the ferry to Zadar. Marked at night with white and red flashing light three seconds. From the village it is also possible to easily walk to the other side of the island to see Slatinica (see video below), one of the most recognized tourist spots in the area. You can also reach Slatinica by boat but the area is usually busy, the cost of buoys is always 10 euros per meter but you also pay for anchorage, 5 kunas per meter. Avoid stopping overnight, no protection from winds.

The locals are friendly and it is possible to buy typical local products from the farmers themselves. There is a marked difference between the medieval ruins, houses of locals from another era, and some new buildings of tourists, inhabited only at certain times of the year. The supply of vacation homes is quite extensive.

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.
