Description

The Gulf of Lacona represents one of the most beautiful frames, in the incredible panorama of Elba Island. Sailing through the emerald sea that characterizes the coast, many boats and sailing tourists, ride the calm waves to land at the most renowned tourist and seaside shores.

It often happens, that the more capacious and famous Porto Azzurro, can be busy and difficult for mooring, especially in high season. Here then, that the boats that have initiative to extend their trip to even Golfo Stella, can find an excellent recreation also at the Gulf of Lacona.

It presents itself as a decidedly tourist anchorage, carved out in an evocative setting. In fact, the inlet blends perfectly with the beautiful mountainous hills that overlook and protect a sandy beach of remarkable brilliance. The sandy seabed forms a slight decline in front of the beach that allows anchoring away from the shore and thus from bathers.

In front of the small beach there is about 6 meters of clear sandy seabed where you can drop anchor (about 150 meters from shore) and about 8 meters of depth at a distance of 200 to 300 meters from land. The Gulf of Lacona offers boaters good shelter from northern winds. It is surrounded by steep shores on the left and right sides.

About 2 miles deep, it is surrounded on both sides by steep coastline and has two beaches, one to the east and one to the west. Both represent the two best anchorages for those who want to anchor their boats and take advantage of the beautiful sea for a dip. Or, go ashore and take advantage of the coastal restaurants that provide excellent service and local cuisine.

The beaches, also provide those who stop, with attractions purely related to the recreational and tourist life of the sea. In fact, within the gulf, proceeding to Cape Stella and/or Cape Fonza, it is possible to access scuba diving services in the sandy seabed or to rent jet skis. On the other hand, for those who, tired of sunbathing by boat, would like to use the mainland, the beach is equipped with umbrella and deck chair rental services.

The Gulf of Lacona is therefore not just a destination to be reached comfortably by car or bus. It possesses a wonderful space of shining sea in which to moor, with the purpose of being able to take advantage of the many tourist and seaside attractions of the place. An incredible resource of the Island of Elba, which guarantees passing boats, a great moment to remember, in the diary of their trip.

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.
