Description

The Calamosca anchorage is located south of Cagliari in close proximity to the city. It is a very convenient anchorage when the nearby ports are overflowing as is often the case in August. Theclosest ports are Marina del Sole to the west inside the city, and the small marina of Marina Piccola, located further east on the other side of the promontory just at the beginning of Cagliari’s Poetto beach.

Calamosca’s anchorages are sheltered from winds in the fourth and first quadrants, however wind exposure makes it a regular destination for surfers. The seabed is predominantly sand and posidonia, with depths varying from 3 meters outside the swimmable zone. The modest depth of the seabed, combined with the ease of descent to the sea from the coast, make the anchorage a popular destination for divers, to whom great care must be taken when maneuvering within the anchorage.

Ashore, the Calamosca anchorage offers the opportunity to take advantage of a good restaurant, an excellent ice cream shop, and a nightclub.
Landing in the Calamosca anchorage can be done very easily by put of a tender. Also ashore, Calamosca anchorage offers a lovely beach of coarse-grained sand lined with cliffs. Given its proximity from the city, the ease of parking, and the possibility of renting umbrellas and deck chairs, the beach is a regular destination for Cagliari swimmers, who are joined by the many tourists in search of Sardinia’s wonderful beaches.
In the summer months Calamosca beach can therefore become very crowded so, to fully enjoy the peace offered by this earthly paradise, it is advisable to avoid the month of August. In any case, other coves less beaten by swimmers can be found in the immediate vicinity of the Calamosca anchorage, skirting the coast towards the east, in the direction of Poetto, where at last the colorful colors of the umbrellas do not interfere with the cool blue of the sea and the warm tones of the Sardinian summer coast.

Finally, ashore, the walk along the Sant’Elia hill, also called the “devil’s saddle,” through the remains of historic buildings overlooking the bay and the city is worth mentioning. Starting from the Calamosca tower and its lighthouse, located at the top of the promontory, one proceeds along a path through anchorages of Mediterranean scrub to the top of the hill, where stand the remains of the Fortino di Sant’Ignazio, an unfinished military work from the 1700s, of which the perimeter of the fortification walls remains.

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.
