Description

In the southwestern part of the Gulf of Porto Conte opens one of the many anchorages that line the entire bay of the Regional Natural Park. Anchorages Dragunara is along the Riviera del Corallo in the territory of Alghero in the province of Sassari and is best known because boats bound for the Neptune caves come and go from the small port.

The whole area is full of underwater caves and ravines frequented by divers from all over the world and snorkeling enthusiasts; there are several diving centers that organize boat excursions throughout the gulf, so it is easy to imagine that on some days it is almost impossible to find a quiet corner. The Dragunara anchorage is quite small and features a seabed of about 10 meters formed by sand and seaweed with the walls along the coast full of ravines appreciated by divers.

The beach is quite small and has a pier where barges dock to load and unload tourists during the summer season. It is easily reached even by the disabled and is equipped with toilets, refreshment facilities and the possibility of renting deckchairs and umbrellas; it has a parking lot and can be reached from Alghero by proceeding toward Tramariglio and turning down a dirt road.

The influx of tourists by land is considerable particularly on days with little wind, because when the libeccio anchorages Dragunara is blowing it is best avoided. Dragunara beach is dominated by the promontory of Capo Caccia, which bounds the gulf of Porto Conte to the west, dominating the entire bay from its 186 meters in height. At the top of the promontory is one of the most visible lighthouses in all of Italy, reflecting the signal over 30 miles away.

The beach is set in a small inlet and is covered with fine golden sand and pebbles; the anchorage’s mirror of sea is clear and transparent, with color gradations ranging from blue to emerald green.

The bottom of the water is full of ravines, and there is the semi-submerged Dragunara cave, which is very important geologically. It has an inland lake 40 meters deep with fresh water on the surface that becomes salty after a while and has been a water supply place since prehistoric times.

At the top of the promontory is the Capo Caccia weather station, which is an air force reference point for what concerns the Alghero area, and numerous cars often stop nearby to admire the view across the gulf.

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.
