Description

Many sailors do not choose to use Umag as their first Croatian port of call because it is out of the way compared to other choices of ports of call along the Istrian coast, which better suit a hypothetical travel plan for a vessel departing, for example, from Veneto. Consider, however, that these ports along the Istrian coast are busy and touristy piers and therefore, although the paperwork to be done at the harbormaster’s office has decreased with Croatia’s 2013 entry into the EU, the waiting time for delivery of the entry declaration and payment of the navigation fee (which varies depending on the length of the hull and the period of stay) can be long. When leaving the country, the same procedure must be done and the exit declaration handed in.

Umag offers excellent mooring services and fast bureaucracy. In addition, mooring costs are lower than all other places on the Istrian coast. The town has a small old town center with a square to visit and very well maintained, from the sea one immediately notices the bell tower and buildings built with typical Istrian white stone, a type of limestone that has the characteristic of being resistant to corrosion caused by salt and widely used during Venetian rule. Umag is also regarded as a sports center of the Istrian area and has a beautiful hinterland dedicated to the cultivation of olive trees and vines.

Umag is 40 km from the city of Trieste, and to the north of the town, just behind Point Savudrija in Slovenia, is the small town of Piran, a quaint, newly renovated and very well-maintained Istrian resort that is well worth a visit. Extending the route might be worthwhile, Umag offers customs service and has a harbormaster’s office open year-round and looks like a small tourist center, in the harbor bay the pier for customs is immediately to the right after the entrance, also there are buoys available at a modest price, not to be considered in case of a north wind. The ports are very exposed to all winds from the north and northwest that generate waves within the bay. In summer, the pronounced wave problem occurs in the event of a storm. For entry keep in the center, presence of shallows, the entrance is well marked by two flashing beacons.

Located within the port of Umag , the Aci marina has a breakwater and several floating docks. The port facility can accommodate mega yachts up to 40 meters in length, and the capacity is 475 berths at sea of 90 berths on land with a 50-ton crane. The marina is well served with technical assistance and a nautical store as well as a money changer and a restaurant. Near the marina is the Hotel Adriatic, from here an electric train runs to the center of Umag.

In conclusion, landing in Umag is definitely recommended, remember to hoist the Croatian courtesy flag on the starboard side on the outside and check your driver’s license (mandatory in any case in the country).

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.
