Description

The Banjol anchorage is located about 2 miles southeast of the port of Rab (Rab) on the island of the same name. This area offers a good alternative for boat anchorage in case the ports no longer have moorings available, and an excellent opportunity to fully experience the sea. Banjol has a dock where a few places can be found, two meters deep. There is also a three-ton travel lift.

Like almost all the islands of Dalmatia, the western part is the most protected and the one where the vegetation is most luxuriant, the Mediterranean macchia here is also able to do its best thanks to the many water sources on the island. In the village there are restaurants and stores for provisions, and on the fifth of August St. Lucia is celebrated with a lively local festival that offers a chance to discover the local culture, especially gastronomic. The locals are hospitable and accustomed to tourists; as early as the late 1800s the resort was frequented by vacationers from the mainland.

The area near Banjol is well known to tourists because of three famous beaches which have the special characteristic of being of fine sand, which is difficult to find along Dalmatia that is composed mainly of limestone rock. Crnika and Suha Punta beaches boast the Blue Flag, an award given by the Foundation for Environmental Education to bathing areas that meet quality requirements such as cleanliness and purity of water. Stopping near these beaches by boat is facilitated by the presence of several small piers (beware of the draft), from land several paths lead to the coves, some of them dedicated to naturists. The best known beach by far is the southernmost one, Pudarica, where there are many bathers and there is a pier once used for ferries. The whole area is windy and on the beach one does not suffer from the heat while skirting the island by sailboat is particularly pleasant; beware of passing through the Barbat channel, which is busy in high season but at the same time has calm waters.

In the Adriatic Sea, it is the bora and the sirocco that are the prevailing winds but during the summer season the mistral has its importance. This wind starts blowing in the morning around 10 a.m. and then strengthens in the following hours and disappears in the evening with the sunset, definitely the best wind for fast and safe sailing.

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.
