Description

The Enfola anchorage is located west of the peninsula of the same name in the northern part of the island of Elba about 7 km from Portoferraio. The anchorage is positioned in front of a beach and is sheltered from all winds because it is located in a small gulf that is also sheltered from currents.

The closer you get to the beach, the more sheltered the boat will be from everything, although the area is quite busy in summer. It is possible to moor at a small concrete pier at the southern side of the beach and use the bar and restaurant services of the small lido.

The Enfola Peninsula is a strip of land that connects Mount Enfola (135 meters high) with the sea and gives rise to two beaches. The north-facing beach is the least hospitable and consists of a concrete yard that is used to pull boats dry. The south-facing beach faces the Viticcio Gulf and offers a beautiful view of the entire coast of Elba Island.

The northern beach is sheltered and cozy, formed by medium-fine cobblestones about 180 meters long. The water is crystal clear and there is a jetty in the center that is used for diving or mooring boats. The stretch of sea in front of the small gulf is very popular because of the clear water and the possibility of mooring comfortably sheltered from sea and land currents.

Snorkeling enthusiasts are sure to find an ideal environment in this area. About eight hundred meters from the beach is a cave that can be reached from a cove at water level.

Until the 1950s, the sea around the Enfola isthmus of land was used for tuna fishing and processing; currently the whole area is part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park and has been restored preserving the old equipment. On the upper part of the promontory there are bunkers, ammunition depots and military lookouts dating back to World War II.

The beach is quite busy, because in addition to being reached by sea, it can also be reached by land and is equipped with every convenience. Deck chairs, umbrellas, and sunbeds can be rented, and there are many facilities, such as public baths, bars, restaurants, and stores that are nearby. A boat hauling service is available and there are sailing, diving and diving center schools.

From the Enfola anchorage, one can skirt the island of Elba and anchor in the many coves within easy reach of each other: Biodola, Procchio, Marciana Marina, until reaching Cape Sant’Andrea to drop anchorage in the anchorage of the same name.

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.
