Description

Portinenti Bay stretches across from the beach of the same name on the island of Lipari, which is part of the Aeolian archipelago in Sicily. Portinenti is located in the bay of Porto delle Genti, set in a wonderful inlet just south of the port of Marina Corta.

Due to its geographical location, the bay offers shelter from almost all winds, and there is an equipped mooring area 50 meters from the beach. The marina has a catenary buoy field, and the staff offers all kinds of assistance; there is daytime surveillance and 24-hour video surveillance.

Dinghy service to and from the beach is offered at the ports, and it is possible to get all the information and tips for visiting the area. In addition to this equipped anchorage, one can stay in the anchorage in front of the beach, or move along the many coves and bays scattered throughout the Lipari periplo.

Cala Portinenti is perhaps the most beautiful on the whole island, however, Vinci beach, not far away, is also very beautiful. In front of the beach, in the strait that separates Lipari from Vulcano, are the Pietralunga rocks and Menalda stone, called the stacks of Lipari; these are two rocks that have been active volcanic eruptions in the past.

These two magma towers have been shaped over the centuries by wind and sea and are currently home to a number of plant species and a colony of herring gulls. The whole area is the subject of great interest by scuba diving enthusiasts and diving centers in the area, which organize underwater expeditions to admire the depths of Lipari.

Around Menalda stone the depth reaches 40 meters and it is possible to see all kinds of animals, such as octopuses and moray eels. The nearby Formiche shoal is an ideal place for snorkeling, the environment is extremely varied and the water is so transparent that you can distinguish the bottom even from the surface.

Other very interesting areas for scuba diving are on the opposite side of the island: the Monks’ Rock, the Seagulls’ Wall, and Punta Castagna, which are located opposite Acquacalda.

In the western part of Lipari is perhaps the best spot for scuba diving, although it is rather challenging; it is the Bagno shoal, which has a cap at a depth of 22 meters and is populated with red gorgonians and huge groupers.

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.
