Description

Sobra (Italian for Sovra) is a town of 150 inhabitants located on the east coast of theisland of Mljet (Meleda). The island is part of the archipelago of large islands and is the one located further south than the others, close to Dubrovnik. Due to its unspoiled nature, it is called the pearl of the Adriatic, which is also evident from the presence of a nature park located in the northwest part of the island.

The bay is very quiet and pleasant, for nighttime entry rely on two lights, one red light flashing three seconds on the left and the other a white light flashing three seconds on the right. Just ahead of the left red light is a fuel station, depth 3 meters. It is also possible to moor at the town pier but not recommended since certain times must be observed when the ferry passes. In the summer the passage is intensified since in addition to the normal daily route connecting the town to Dubrovnik there is a more touristy one to the nearby island of Peljesac. Finally, there is the possibility of having electric connection for boats up to 25 meters in length using some dead bodies present immediately after the village quay, depth 4 meters. With very strong sirocco an annoying wave rises up even to the inside of the cove.

Coming from the south, before landing in Sobra, it is almost a must to stop for a swim at Saplunara (Italian for Sabbionara), a bay suitable for a short anchorage where there is a wide sandy beach with clear waters. Coming from the north, on the other hand, you can stop at Pomena or Polace (Porto Palazzo) for a visit inside the National Park where you can see an abandoned 12th-century monastery and two salt lakes. The park can be visited on foot or by renting a canoe.The vegetation consists mainly of pine trees but there are also typical Mediterranean shrubs such as myrtle. In Polace , mooring is recommended at the L-shaped pier where there are some dead bodies. Entrance to the park about 100 kuna. Prohibition of anchoring and entering the V. Jezero channel, which is considered a protected natural area.

The island also has a strong historical connection and has been inhabited for millennia, as evidence of which the island of Ogygia, named in the Odyssey, is thought to be Meleda itself. According to Homer, after the battle of Troy Odysseus found shelter here, met Calypso and stayed there for 7 years.

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.
