Description

One of the most famous moorings on the island of Ponza, Cala di Feola is a great way to spend the day and night at anchorage away from the crowded ports of Ponza, but with the possibility of using the services of the nearby village of Le Forna.

Cala di Feola is located in the northwestern part of the island, offering shelter from quadrant II and III winds, while it is open to westerly winds like all bays on this side of Ponza Island. The natural cove of Feola is sheltered by a small pier used for mooring by fishing boats, not usable for recreation. It is possible to anchor in the anchorage in front of the pier on mixed rock and sand bottoms 10 to 15 meters deep.

As with all bays on the western side of the island, it is necessary to have up-to-date information on marine weather conditions because the exposure to the west can put anchorage at risk in case of sustained winds. Especially in the summer, then, it can ‘happen that there are boats without crew on board in the anchorage, increasing the danger in case of problems to’ anchorage. A Port Authority order warns of the danger of landslides and falling rocks.

Cala di Feola is famous for the presence of pools carved by the sea into the tuff, forming real natural pools in which it is possible to swim. The light color of the sand of the seabed, the clarity of the water and the blue sea of Ponza complete a picture of extraordinary beauty. Also very impressive are the houses carved into the tuff by the first settlers of the bay that can still be seen intact. No longer present, however, are the monk seals that until a few decades ago populated the cliffs of Cala di Feola in winter.

The fine pebble beach at the end of the bay is equipped with eateries, bars and restaurants, sunbeds and umbrellas, and the possibility of renting diving equipment. Both the beach and anchorages are very busy in summer, but certainly less so than the eastern part of the island. The village of Le Forna can be reached on foot via a steep but well-equipped and easy walking path. All basic services can be found in the village: bars, restaurants, small supermarket, scooter rental etc. The walk also provides a beautiful view of the entire Cala di Feola and nearby Cala dell’Acqua, separated by a small promontory.

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.
