Description

The Port of Monopoli

The port of Monopoli, is recognized along with the Ports of Barletta, one of the oldest and most famous ports on the east coast of Puglia. It is a structure that boasts a very ancient history that has even attracted multiple archaeological studies, following the various of traces testifying to the passage of ancient peoples.

The landing place was subject to a reputation that was not easy over the years because of the very limited port of call it could offer. This was as a result of a particularly dangerous coastline that drew it as a very sheltered anchorage, and difficult at anchorage for boat types with a merchant cut.

Thereafter, the port, saw the succession of a number of improvement works, which over the years managed to make people forget the name by which it was recognized at the beginning of the millennium; Port Aspro. The works, which saw their greatest manifestation, after World War II, saw an improvement but obviously within the limits of the possibilities of the seabed and the economic resources of the place.

It is a fact that the Port of Monopoli, has always managed to enjoy great respect, especially from the locals, who live a lot on the activity of sailors or otherwise own boats for seafaring identity or tourist cut.

The structure, as of today, is protected by two main piers; the Margherita Pier and the Tramontana Dam. However, the latter is not approachable due to the presence of a rocky escarpment and because of its elbow shape. The ports remain subject to some hazards, such as the shoal in the Punta del Trave, especially at low tide.

The maximum length of ships that can moor, is 110 meters, but as a rule, these are tourist ships and no more than one call is scheduled at the same time. First and foremost for safety, but also to allow entry and space for at least 80 boats, within the area.

The seabed is very muddy, but also has rocky areas, thus compromising maneuverability and landing in some areas, or otherwise to be done with great caution. Caution that is also well signaled when entering ports in particularly windy conditions due to the easterly and sirocco winds.

The Port of Monopoli, is an important wrinkle in the ancient Apulian profile, always attracting the charm of a city that makes boats and marine life, its first identity. It guarantees hospitality and basic services, despite its ancient and fascinating profile.

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.
