Description

The Rada della Reale anchorage is located in the eastern part of the island Asinara in the municipality of Porto Torres in the province of Sassari in Sardinia. The island is in the northern part of Sardinia and has an area of about 51 kmยฒ.

The hinterland is mostly hilly and the coastline is 110 km long, mostly high and rocky, but with some beaches. The island is part of the Asinara National Park, which includes a marine protected area subject to certain restrictions.

Asinara is constantly monitored by the Sardinian Regional Forestry and Environmental Surveillance Corps, which patrols the waters with boats. At Cala Reale, in the former bacteriological laboratory of the Maritime Health Station is the Sea Center, where the various ecosystems in the marine protected area are illustrated.

The only way to gain boat access to Asinara National Park, and therefore also to Rada della Reale, is to moor at the buoy fields, which are also at Fornelli and Cala d’Oliva. In total there are 63 buoys, so the maximum number of boats that can moor there is 63, of which 24 are at Rada della Reale.

The management of the buoy fields is entrusted to the Cormorant Marina company, and full regulations can be found on the website in downloadable and printable PDF format. In general, sailboats can sail anywhere, while motorboats are required to follow a precise course to access the buoy fields.

To gain access, reservations must be made, places are limited, and the coast guard controls entry, which is strictly forbidden to unauthorized boats. It is also forbidden to give bottom with an anchor and you can only moor at the buoys. There is a fee for mooring and it costs about three euros per linear meter for sailboats and four euros per linear meter for motor boats in high season.

One can go ashore only by rowing tender and dock at a pier. There are some rocks about 700 meters from the dock that are marked by a light. The access corridor to the buoy fields in Cala Reale is marked by a few buoys in the western area and is about 100 meters wide.

The maximum speed allowed around Asinara Island is 3 knots and you cannot approach within 400 meters of the coast. It is forbidden to dump anything into the sea including water and to remove objects from the island, even stones and sand. On land, Asinara offers many tourist services, such as guided excursions on horseback or in all-terrain jeeps.

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.
