Description

The port of Peschici is located along the northern coast of the spur of Italy in Puglia in the province of Foggia. It is one of the most important ports in the Gargano because it is the main departure point for the Tremiti Islands.

The dock is mainly occupied by boats and fishing boats and is quite small. The main danger of the Peschici harbor is the lack of light signals at the entrance, so it is advisable not to get there at night. The small harbor is protected to the west by a docked pier and to the east by a breakwater pier. The dock is not large, but it has essential services including a crane.

In addition to the unmarked entrance, silting is common within the ports, and in some areas the depth is less than one meter. There are records of the existence of the port of Peschici since the 13th century, when it was very active in building ships with wood from the Gargano forests.

It was among the few ports with a lighthouse, and in an ancient portolano from 1254 it is mentioned as Pesquicium. The Gargano town has been so named since 1570, when many trades bound for Dalmatia departed from Peschici. The Gargano remained isolated until 1893, when state road no. 89 that runs through it.

From 1933 onward, the current port was rebuilt, initially created for fishermen which since the 1980s has become primarily tourist. Unfortunately, there are numerous ordinances and prohibitions restricting access to the port, and before mooring one must take note of Ordinance no. 21/99 of 19.06.1999 promulgated by Circomare Vieste.

Peschici was founded by the Slavs in 970 AD, and the entire town is perched on a hundred-foot-high rock overlooking the harbor. To reach the old town, one must walk up an uphill road that connects the port with the castle.

Peschici has evidence of human traces since the Stone Age, and artifacts have been found near the Church of the Madonna of Loreto dating back 12,000 years. The town is also famous because it is the only point in Italy from which sunrise and sunset over the sea can be observed on the same day from the top of the castle.

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.
