Description

The uninhabited bay of Maraฤol (in Italian, Lungo) is located in the southeastern part of the island of Unije (Unie) south of the Istrian peninsula, and is the most recommended place for anchorages in anchorages, given the depth of the water (between four and eight meters) and the good tenorage bottom.

The bay is uninhabited, the only drawback is that the place is very busy; in high season you will probably find the bay crowded. Despite the many buoys (very close together) already in the early afternoon there is a chance to find all the buoys occupied, and in the evening there is a second line of boats at anchor. Few motor yachts and many sailboats of different sizes, the place is also a regular stop for various charter agencies. Affordable prices (2014), 10 kunas per boat meter plus the tourist tax corresponding to 5 kunas per person.

Wanting to take a walk from here it is possible to walk to Unie, following a path for about 15 minutes. Unie is the only small town on the island of the same name with a convenience store, the permanent inhabitants are not even 100 people, until the arrival of tourism many have migrated since the island is located in the high seas and detached from the others and therefore is a peripheral area.

The town’s ports located in a wide bay also has a small pier and is reached after about 20 miles of sailing from Maracol; do not stop here in case of westerly or mistral winds.

The port does not have much room for boats and a couple of prohibitions: you have to leave the pier clear for the first 50 meters and you cannot anchor to the west (opposite the head of the pier), anchorage with a mediocre bottom, and half a mile from the entrance watch out for some outcropping rocks.

For night entry help with the red flashing light three seconds placed at the head of the pier. On the southwest tip of Unije Island flashing red and white light 10 seconds.

The island of Unjie has a long history in the field of agriculture particularly with regard to the cultivation of olive trees, in fact even today there are vast olive groves arranged on terraces made with typical dry-stone masonry, can be seen especially in the southern part, and thus also in the area near Maracol. There are over ten thousand plants on the island, and the harvested product is one of the most important sources of livelihood for locals, along with fishing and tourism.

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.
