Description

Marina di Porto Cesareo – Safe harbor in Puglia

The marina at Porto Cesareo is a mooring for yachtsmen, consisting of 4 docks, equipped with connections for water and electricity, and a slipway. L’infrastruttura offre una gamma di nautical services and has 300 berths for medium-sized boats.

It can be recognized from offshore by the Caesarea Tower, which is located toward the southern end of the settlement, clearly visible even from a great distance and provides a safe haven for small ships with a draft of no more than 3 m. It is protected on the south side by a narrow tongue of land called the Witch Peninsula. Two black-and-white checkerboard mede located on the northeastern shore make it possible to enter with an alignment for 340ยฐ passing about 80 m to starboard of a dangerous shoal located southeast of Scoglio di Testa.

With the southwesterly wind referred to as the “wind of Calabria,” waves break violently at the mouth and the inner body of water is not very calm. The depths are 2.4 m except on the southeast side where the inlet is completely silted up. The marina consists of two docks 30 m long and two others 25 m long and a slipway. Tramontana and Sirocco prevail.

Porto Cesareo is a seaside town located on the Ionian side of the Salento peninsula between Gallipoli and Taranto. Its long coastline is characterized by white sandy beaches stretching for more than 18 km with dunes rich in Mediterranean vegetation. In front of Porto Cesareo are a series of islets including Isola Grande or Isola dei Conigli, which can be reached on foot from the ports or by fishermen’s boats.

The vegetation of these islands, which has more than 200 plant species, contributed to the establishment of the Porto Cesareo Marine Protected Area in 1997 limited to the north by Punta Prosciutto and to the south by Torre Inserraglio. The seabed has a characteristic sub-tropical environment with very distinctive animals typical of warm seas. The marine fauna consists of crustaceans, mollusks, colorful fish and turtles. Corals are found at minimal depths and a very short distance from the coast.

Along the coast are four watchtowers built in the 16th century to protect the Salento peninsula: Torre Cesarea, Torre Lapillo, Torre Chianca and Torre Castiglione.

The cuisine of Porto Cesareo is mainly based on the products of the sea. Typical local product is the mullet of Porto Cesareo. Very characteristic from a culinary point of view is via Silvio Pellico, known as the “street of fishmongers.”

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.
