Description

Port de Cargese is a marina located south of Calvi in the northwestern part of Sagone Bay in Corsica. Well protected by a 200-meter-long, northeast-facing breakwater and a breakwater reef signaled by beacons, it offers 235 berths for boats up to 18 meters. The harbor offers electricity and water supply, weather information, gas station, and a supermarket to stock up before leaving. In front of the ports there are a few restaurants where you can eat freshly caught fish.

Coming from the north conspicuous points are Cap Rossu and the Tuselli points , which must be circumvented by staying at a distance of about 300 meters from the coast to avoid the numerous rocks, shoals and islets facing them. After passing the last point continue to the stone jetty enclosing the harbor transom. Approach it keeping 150 m south of the breakwater to avoid the outcropping rocks. Coming from the south pass cap da Feno along the Gulf of Sagone from which you can already spot Cap Rossu, the Tuselli tips and the village of Cargese overlooking the port with its two bell towers.

Enter the port by advancing at low speed in a westerly direction and after passing the North Pier turn left approaching the fuel station while waiting for instructions from the Harbor Master’s Office. Entry in strong southwesterly winds is not recommended. Access to the ports is allowed only during the day.

Cargese is a small town built on a promontory that was created to accommodate the Greek community exiled to Corsica at the time of Genoese rule. The more modern part of the town is developed along the highway where several hotels and restaurants are located. The old town with its narrow alleys and light-colored houses harkens back to some Greek island.

Local attractions are the two churches in the village as well as the beaches of white sand and crystal clear water stretching north and south. Worth mentioning are the beaches of Chiuni, Topiti and Menasina. On the beach Plage du Pero north of the town of Cargese frequented by many surfers it is possible to rent windsurfs, kayaks and surfboards. The Cargese area is suitable for boat trips and scuba diving. From Cargese begins a hiking trail to Mount Cinto, the highest elevation on the island, which reaches 2706 m above sea level.

REGISTRATI

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.
