Description

Le Bocche di Gallipari is a marina located in the territory of Badolato in the province of Catanzaro in the Gulf of Squillace. The port hosts about 300 berths and overlooks a crystal clear sea that is a destination for tourists who visit at all times of the year. The beach has the characteristic golden grain typical of the area and is on the opposite side of the marina from the town of Badolato Marina. It is a medieval village located a short distance from the coast of the Ionian Sea facing the mountainous area of the Serre Calabresi.

The town of Badolato dates back to the year 1080 and has been badly damaged by several earthquakes in past centuries and a flood in the 1950s. Every year at the end of August an important musical event called Tarantella Power takes place. The Serre Calabresi are part of the Serre Regional Natural Park, a protected natural area of Calabria located between Sila and Aspromonte. There are no protected areas in the area of the Bocche di Gallipari ports, and the Gulf of Squillace extends from Isola Capo Rizzuto to Punta Stilo in Monasterace.

The whole gulf is considered dangerous and has always had a bad reputation because of the many shipwrecks that have occurred in front of the shores. Until the whole of the 19th century there was no natural ports, and throughout the area very strong winds blow there, so much so that there is a saying that says In the Gulf of Squillace where the wind is never silent.

There are three docks and five floating docks dedicated to recreational boating in the port; all are managed by S.AL.TE.G., which holds the port concession. The harbor has nearly 300 available berths, ranging from 6 to 16 meters in length, and there are two lights at the entrance that have a range of five miles, a red one on the port side and a green one on the starboard side. The port is fully equipped with all services, including lighting on the docks, water and electricity.

On land there is a mobile crane with a capacity of up to 25 tons, the possibility of outdoor storage and repair of hulls and engines. There is also parking because the area is also much visited by land, in view of the beauty of the sea, which is frequented especially during the summer season. In addition to the inland village, Badolato Marina does not lack all the typical services of summer seaside villages, such as stores, bars and restaurants, accommodations, and clubs of all kinds. The beaches are quiet and suitable for everyone, and there is no shortage of natural and architectural areas of great beauty in the surrounding area.

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.
