Description

Located at the end of the anchorage the same name, the Port Départemental de Cassis is one of the last eastern landings on the Côte d’Azur.

The approach to the port is also easily done at night thanks to the white light lighthouse located in the central part of the bay, just to the right of the large cliffs. The harbor is well protected from almost all winds, particularly the mistral wind, but does not offer good shelter from south/southeast winds. With currents coming from this direction, access to the ports can also become difficult.

There are 25 places reserved for transit travelers, and they are located along some of the many piers in the port area. It is also possible to give anchorages in the anchorage area. The ports are very popular, especially in the summertime.

Alternatively, one can continue one’s navigation westward-in the direction of Marseilles-and arrive at the Calanque de Port Miou, a natural landing place somewhat less busy during the summer season than the port of Cassis, where more than 400 berths are made available for boaters.

The port offers many services, including a garbage collection area and a system for collecting black water and waste oil from moored boats.
A sailing school and a boatyard are also located here.

The port area is home to a number of eateries and a laundry. Because of the centrality of the port, stores and businesses in the city center are within easy reach.

Travelers who land in the ports of Cassis can enjoy a very pleasant view of the terraces of the cafes overlooking the sea and the small, pretty, colorful houses.

Going just behind the port, one can take advantage of the presence of la Plage de la Grande Mer, a large city beach composed of sand and pebbles, where one can find restaurants and a small parking lot.
From which there is an excellent view of Cassis Castle.

The typical Provençal atmosphere makes Cassis a very picturesque and popular location for tourists. It is part of the Parc National des Calanques, a protected area that looks to protect the local territory, fauna and flora.

It is an ideal location for reaching the La Ciotat area, the many creeks in the surrounding area, and Marseille.

The Port Départemental de Cassis is the gateway between the Côte d’Azur and the Côte d’ Côte d’Azur and allows those who land in its waters to enjoy an extremely central location.

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.
