Description

The Calanque de Port Miou lies immediately to the left of the town of Cassis and its ports and is considered by boaters passing through the area to be a good alternative to the summer crowding of the nearby eastern landing.

An excellent naturally sheltered landing place, in recent years the cove has been equipped with wooden walkways and buoys to organize the stay of the many boats that pass through the area year-round, particularly during the summer period. Wild mooring was in fact damaging the surrounding environment.

Boats that stop in the outermost area of the cove can moor at the many buoys there. Boat passengers who wish to moor in the innermost part of the cove, on the other hand, can take advantage of the presence of the concrete piers and docks to moor and disembark on land.

Management of the mooring area was entrusted for some time to two of the various boat clubs located on the shores of the inlet, after which the municipality decided to take over the organization itself.

A local harbormaster ‘s office is also located in the cove.
The port offers all major services to its boaters, as well as two systems for collecting waste oil and sewage.

Incredibly picturesque and therefore popular with tourists and boaters passing through the region, this inlet stretches about a kilometer in length.

La Calanque de Port Miou was awarded the 2015 “Pavillon Bleu” award, the French “Blue Flag” title for ports that maintain the highest ecological and quality standards.

Within the area there are a few eateries, some nautical schools and a restaurant, which is easily accessible from the bottom of the bay.
The only beach in the gully is located just in its innermost part; it is small and sandy but not suitable for bathers to stop.

Port Miou Creek is part of the Parc National des Calanques, a protected area established specifically to preserve the diverse habitats and delicate ecosystem of the local fauna and flora.

Only 6 miles from Cassis and 13 miles from Marseille, the Calanque de Port Miou is an ideal landing place for those who want to tour the Côte d’Azur and the Côte d’ Côte d’Azur.

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.
