Description

Port de Argelès- sur- Mer is located along the coast of the Gulf of Lion in Mediterranean France. Part of the Eastern Pyrenees region, it is a few miles from the Spanish border and enjoys the magnificent backdrop of the Albères Mountains mountain range.

It is possible to moor along the southern breakwater or in one of the three docks present.
The total number of berths for boat mooring is 858 (of which 20 are reserved for transient boaters), for boats with a maximum length of 22 meters, while the draft of the port area varies from four meters in the front dock to 2.50 meters in the innermost area.

In the summer season, the landfall expands its offerings with 177 berths, of which 134 are at the buoy and 43 are on a floating dock.

Mooring assistance is available if desired.

Free anchorage is prohibited throughout the port area and in the area in front of the port but, on good weather days, it is possible to stay at anchor in front of the beach south of the port (plage du Racou), on a sandy seabed, with a depth ranging from 3 to 5 meters.
The port area is fairly protected from winds,is affected by southwesterly winds, but winds from the northeasterly direction can make access to the port area less favorable. The marina provides its boaters with drinking water sources and electricity supply columns.

Toilets and showers are located in three areas. There are twelve toilets (one of which is designed to be used comfortably by people with disabilities), seventeen are showers (including one for people with physical disabilities), and the recycling collection area can also accommodate used oils and filters, iron components, battery boxes, and hydrocarbon drums.

The Harbor Master’s Office publishes weather reports twice a day.

The shipbuilding area has a slipway (for a fee), a travelift with a maximum capacity of 35 tons, a 1.5-ton mobile crane, and a storage area for the winter months.
Customers at the port of Argelès can also avail themselves of the presence of a number of experts for various maintenance and repair operations.
In addition, there is a diesel and fuel station in the port area with 24-hour automatic service.

A fish market with local fishermen is held inside the port during the summer.
The Port of Argelès- sur- Mer area hosts restaurants, bars, pizzerias, and supermarkets.

Through the services offered by the port’s professional staff, it is also possible to take sailing and boating courses, take boat trips, play sports, and go scuba diving.

The area of Argelès- sur- Mer offers beautiful beaches, very crowded in the summertime. South of the ports is the plage de Racou. It is a sandy beach, further from the center of the town and therefore less crowded than the others. Here there is a sailing center and-in the right part of the beach-you can bring your dogs (keeping them on a leash).

North of the ports, on the other hand, is the Plage Sud, which occupies a more central location than the city center. It is a large sandy beach with a view of Colliure Bay. Those arriving here by car can take advantage of one of the parking lots that border the port area. A rescue station operates on this beach during the summer period.

The plage du Centre is slightly further from the port de Argelès- su- Mer. It is a large sandy beach, much accorsed in the summer period because of its central location to the city center and its size. Restaurants, bars, and a few other businesses can be found along the pedestrian path that runs along it.

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.
