Description

Hodilje is a quiet village located on the Peljesac Peninsula (Sabbioncello), more precisely in the inner part and therefore accessible by sea only by entering the blind channel of Mali Ston.

Berths can be found on both sides of the pier, three meters deep, or along the quay to the west, 2 meters deep. A campground located nearby can be accessed for supplies. For nighttime entry refer to the green flashing light (two seconds) located at the head of the pier. The ports are located within a small bay that has a sandy beach.

This destination is reserved for those who possess the spirit of adventure and are well versed in the dangers found in Croatia and have already sailed in Dalmatia. After entering the Mali Ston Canal (Narenta Canal), about halfway through you can see the bridge that joins the peninsula to Croatia, this structure serves to connect the highway between Dubrovnick and Split without passing through Bosnia, the value is more political than economic.

After the bridge the coast on the left is Bosnian, for those who want to moor here (Neum ports) will have to notify the local police. After the bridge you will be able to see a 20-meter high electric cable and the signaling of a flashing white light beacon (three seconds) to keep to the right. From here to the nearby port of Hodilje pay attention to some islets.

Arriving at these places presents some difficulties and the navigation plan will definitely have to be stretched, but in return in addition to visiting places with still unspoiled nature it is advisable to stop at one of the various restaurants present (at the next port of Mali Ston there is more than one) to eat the local specialty that is mussels.

Mali Ston is a citadel with fortification walls used in the past as the armory of the Republic of Ragusa, given its protected location. In the port of Mali Ston it is advisable to moor in front of the tower, water depth three meters. At the end of the blind channel there are natural salt pans in operation from the time of the Republic of Ragusa when salt was one of the Republic’s major export products.

The Sabbioncello peninsula is one of the most cultivated areas in Dalmatia, especially vineyards and olive groves. The coastline is very indented and there is no shortage of opportunities to find small, enchanting bays. The most famous and well known is Trstenica Bay but the advice is to sail along the coasts and you will find more reserved places.

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.
