Description

Kilada is a large natural inlet located to the northeast in the Argolic gulf. Characterized by an almost horseshoe shape, it has the peculiarity of having a small island (of the same name) that marks and partially closes its entrance.

This is why Kilada is a popular stopping point for boaters plying the Aegean Sea: it offers excellent shelter from virtually all winds and especially the sea.

Entering Kilada Bay is not a difficult thing to do; there are two options: go through from the north, around the islet, or choose the shorter way by transiting the channel between the islet and the mainland (the headland of which is marked by a light). In the latter case, pay attention to the fact that the depth is not much, averaging 4 meters. In bad weather, absolutely recommended the longer route.

Within the bay there is room for several alternatives. The most practical is certainly to drop anchor at any point in the bay; the bottom is excellent holding, mud and sand, and presents no danger. Beware only in summer, in the afternoon-evening even strong westerly breezes can develop; the advice is to make sure once more of anchor holding.

Alternatively, you can choose to moor at the first pier, where the depth ranges from 2.5 to 5 meters (side mooring). The second and third piers are used by fishermen: avoid them if you want to have a quiet night. Instead, the banked shore should be left clear for cargo ships.

As services there is not much: drinking water at the first pier (however, its poor quality is reported), fuel and water available in tanks. There is a shipyard that specializes in wooden boat repairs; the office is on the first pier and the advice is to go there for any needs. It also has a 70-ton travel lift and a slipway; prices are reasonable.

The village of Kilada is nothing much from a tourist point of view; it has no distinctive architecture but offers basic services that may be useful to the yachtsman (small supermarkets, stores, bars, restaurants). The bay, on the other hand, is full of beautiful beaches

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.
