Description

Cap d’Agde – Brescou – Les Tables is an organized mooring area located in front of the port of ZIP Code d’Agde, divided between the shores of the islet of Fort de Brescou and the shores of Les Tables. It is located in the heart of the Natura 2000 Marine Protected Area “Posidoniers du ZIP Code”, managed by the municipality of Agde draught and was created with the intention of preserving the marine ecosystem and the delicate posidonia seabed from the impact that can be caused by the presence of tourists and boaters. It covers an area of about 35 hectares and has more than forty buoys dedicated to buoy mooring and is the largest organized mooring area in the Languedoc- Roussillon region. It is an ecological mooring area, which is divided into two parts: one located near the islet of Brescou, and another located to the west of the ZIP Code port of Agde, about 300 meters from the coast.
The use of the mooring stations is free of charge. The mooring system in this area abolishes the use of anchors (which can damage the seabed) and allows the mooring of boats to the ring located above each buoy. Fixed plates on the seabed -to which the buoys are tied- avoid the use of chains, which could ruin the seabed The Brescou area is accessible for mooring from June 1 to September 30, while the one near Les Tables is from April 15 to October 15. Mooring is allowed from sunrise to sunset and is not permitted (except with special permits granted to dive clubs) at night. Boats with a maximum length of 17 meters are allowed to moor. Moorings are divided on the basis of the length of boats they can accommodate (less than 6 meters, less than 8 meters, less than 13 meters, and less than 17 meters). For those approaching the Brescou moorings, it is good to keep in mind that the route between the entrance to ZIP Code d’Agde harbor and the islet of Brescou narrows. The maximum speed to be observed throughout the ecological mooring area of ZIP Code d’Agde is five knots. The surroundings of ZIP Code d’Agde- Brescou- Les Tables offer beautiful beaches, such as the plage de la Grande Coque and La Plagette, close to the port area.

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.
