Description

Olib (Ulbo in Italian) is the port of the island of the same name, which is part of the archipelago of islands located north of Dalmatia some 20 nautical miles from Zadar. The place is very quiet and life here flows slowly, only a few houses of repatriated emigrants clash with the natural environment that has remained intact over the centuries. The inhabitants are engaged in activities such as fishing, farming and animal husbandry, in some cases marked only by personal and family subsistence. Given the limited agricultural area and the lack of water sources, the island has never experienced economic development and therefore there is an absence of motor vehicles and industrial installations.Finally, tourism has arrived only minimally and mostly consists of boaters passing through, in fact for those who want to stay overnight must rely on private homes. It is possible to find some services such as a supermarket, restaurants and a post office. Interesting archaeological finds and evidence of human presence in past centuries, especially the ruins of a Roman village, a church and a monastery.

The port of Olib is located to the west where there is the largest bay on the island, also noteworthy is the bay the of Satinica to the east where lovers of sandy beaches and clear water will be satisfied, excellent for stopping for a swim but not for anchorages at night in the anchorage. At the ports there is a pier on which, however, the ferry that makes the connection with the island of Zadar passes daily, the water depth ranges from 2.5 to 4 meters, at night signaled with white and red three-second flashing light. The pier is clearly visible in the video below from the second 16, from here it can also be easily deduced that at the ports berths are limited and mostly dedicated to medium – small boats. At the pier it is possible to dock at some dead bodies and have water and electricity, both north and south of these there are also buoys. Prices are higher than the average in the archipelago, and the south side of the pier and the various buoys in that area are not protected in case of westerly winds, while the north side of the pier and the various buoys in that area are not protected in case of northerly winds. Between Silba Island and the western tip of Olib pay attention to the cardinal danger sign indicating to keep to the west, thus passing closer to Silba Island, due to a shoal, the night signaled with white twinkling light (9 twinkles) every 15 seconds.

South of the island is the famous white sand beach of Juzna Slatina where you will find clear waters in which to swim, suitable for families with children since it slopes very slowly, also accessible from the ports of Olib with a 20-minute walk along a path. A shoal at the entrance to the bay to the west is noted. There is also a strong presence of aquatic plants in the area, be careful when anchoring to choose a place where there are possibly none.

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.
