Description

The Capo Coda Cavallo anchorage is located near the promontory of the same name in the province of Olbia Tempio in northeastern Sardinia. The anchorage is located in the Tavolara – Punta Coda Cavallomarine protected natural area, which includes the Molara, Molarotto and Tavolara islands.

The protected area is divided into zones more or less forbidden to navigation; around the islands Tavolara and Molarotto, for example, bathing is prohibited, and diving excursions are only allowed with a guide.

In the anchorages of Capo Coda Cavallo it is possible to moor and drop anchor. The inlet is very wide and protected from the sirocco winds, which is precisely why it is so popular, the almost total protection from winds and currents.

The water is crystal clear and among the warmest in all of Sardinia, so crowding is inevitable. In front of the Anchorages is a long, very beautiful beach, but it is not the only one; the entire coast is dotted with coves and white sandy beaches.

The place is lovely, behind the long narrow beach is unspoiled nature and over the hill in front of the bay is a well-equipped resort.

Leaving the anchorage in a southerly direction, there is a strait between the headland and Molara Island, which is a bit difficult to cross in strong winds.

Skirting the promontory in a westerly direction about two hundred meters from a small island near the coast is a rock on the surface called Moor’s Head to which one must pay close attention.

On the opposite side, in the direction of Porto San Paolo, there are many coves sheltered from the wind with wonderful white sand beaches where you can moor and swim.

Attention must be paid to the seabed, as there are often semi-outcropping rocks; also look out for a shipwreck near the ports.

The anchorages of Capo Coda Cavallo are a destination for scuba diving enthusiasts, although in much of the area they are only allowed accompanied by licensed guides. Near Tavolara Island, navigation is almost entirely interdicted, partly due to military installations of the Spalmatore di Fuori.

Ashore landing is allowed only with the permission of the owners, and a major international film festival is held each year in the summer.

Molara Island is rocky and impassable, yet it is inhabited due to the presence of numerous water sources. This island, like Tavolara, is also privately owned. Molarotto Island is little more than a rock a few dozen square meters in size. Vegetation is sparse, but there are endemic animal species and it is so frequented by seabirds that it is often completely covered with them.

Proratora Island is an uninhabited rock 350 meters long and is about 200 meters from Capo Coda Cavallo.

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.
