Description

The cove of Giglio Campese is located on the island of Giglio and has good shelter with southerly winds. The cove is open to Mistral but is still a good anchorage for spending the night. The seabed is sandy, 6 to 8 m deep with buoys that mark the safe distance from the beach, which is very crowded in summer. One must be watch out for sunken pylons in the SO part of the bay.. Anchoring can be done in the south side of the bay of Giglio Campesetra the concrete structure and the stacks.

The cove of Giglio Campese is ideal for surfing and sailing enthusiasts, thanks to the winds that blow from the south. Its western exposure, on the other hand, makes it unforgettable for those looking for striking sunsets, as well as enjoying more sun exposure than the other towns on Giglio Island.

Historical background

Giglio Campesewas the last town to spring up on the island of Giglio, but today it is the most important tourist settlement, perhaps thanks in part to the beautiful sandy beach that lies just opposite the cove of the same name. The seabed of the gulf is known for the rich presence of red corals, which in the past drove the local economy. This bay is framed on one side by the Faraglione and on the other by the Medici Tower under which there are buoys for a fee. Beware, however, of very shallow waters.

The Medici tower of the cove of Giglio Campese was built in the 1700s at first to control fishing at the shoal, but later it was also useful to guard the bay from frequent attacks by Saracen pirates, particularly that of November 18, 1799 when the island became the scene of the last attack by the Moors in Italy. After the Unification of Italy the tower was demilitarized and given to private owners, and is currently owned by private individuals and used as a tourist residence. The tower was erected on the rocks to make it difficult to reach, but it is currently connected to the land by a small bridge.

Activities in the cove of Giglio Campese

The entire island of Giglio and the cove of Giglio Campese can boast a particularly beautiful and clean sea, so much so that it has been awarded the five blue sails of Legambiente. In the anchorages you can freely practice recreational boating, sport fishing and scuba diving .. The seabed of the Giglio Campese cove is rocky and therefore a natural habitat for many fish species, such as snapper, amberjack, skipjack and bream.

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.
