Description

The port of Varenna Riva Grande with stone piers offers 15 berths. It turns out to be well sheltered from all winds and a safe landing place for sailing on Lake Como. A mooring pier is located outside the dock and can accommodate 4 boats. Also of note is the “Riva Grande” steps, on which fishing boats are moored.

Due to its small size, maneuvering in the dock is difficult. Therefore, it is not recommended for large boats to approach. Public navigation has the right of way on private vessels, even if sailing, great care must be taken with the swell created by ferries.

The mouth of the landing is marked by two lights: one red and the other green. In daylight hours for approach and mooring from the north conspicuous points are the bell tower and the top of Vezio Castle. The town of Varenna is clearly visible coming from the south. Special attention should be paid to the shallows near the mouth of the Esino stream signaled by a pole with an orange light. Other shallows are found at the point that protects the anchorage where ferries dock from the south. Afternoon breezes blow over the area from the second and third quadrants, which can reach intensities of 10 knots. Strong winds of varying direction occur in conjunction with thunderstorms.

The small port is located near the historic center of Varenna where souvenir stores, bars and eateries can be found. Varenna is a pretty fishing village located near the mouth of the Esino stream. The village is divided into a network of narrow streets that descend steeply to the lake where the houses are reflected in the water. Situated on the shores of Lake Como, it faces Bellagio, to which it is connected by ferry. To the north and south of the town are Villa Cipressi and Villa Monastero, respectively.

Also worth seeing is the hamlet of Fiumelatte, named for the white foam of the stream that flows only in spring from a cave and after a short distance flows into the waters of the lake. Above Varenna isEsino Lario called the “pearl of the grigne” because of its location, from which it is possible to reach Vezio Castle, the tower of a medieval castle and home of the Longobard queen Teodolinda.

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.
