Description

Manfredonia’s Porto Vecchio is one of the city’s two pleasure ports and one of the most important ports in northern Puglia

It consists of two elbow piers, one west and one east, a trapezoidal pier, and a tramontana quay. However, these spaces are not used for mooring pleasure boats but only for commercial boats, passenger ships and fishing boats.

Yachtsmen, on the other hand, can dock at Cala Spuntone, a dock in Radice of the west pier, within the Gargano Sailing Center area or, where commercial traffic permits, north of the north pier, in the Cala Diomede dock in the Italian Naval League area.

In some cases, the local Maritime Authority may grant permission to moor along the western pier.

The port enjoys good shelter from several winds, although with crosswinds there is often an undertow phenomenon. In southerly/southeasterly winds, on the other hand, it is not recommended to land at this port. The phenomenon of silting also periodically affects the landfall.

The port has a good number of service, repair, and supply facilities, including a repair yard for fiberglass and wooden hulls.

Various services offered in the port area include a bar and a covered storage area.
A number of shipbuilding areas and a fish market are also located in the vicinity of the landing.
The lighthouse is located at the Radice of the east pier.

The ports is in a very central location, so bars, restaurants, post offices, banks and businesses can be easily encountered in the immediate vicinity.

Behind the Old Port it is possible to admire the medieval castle, wanted by the Swabians but also remodeled in structure by the Aragonese and Angevins.

The waterfront is spacious, and indulging in a stroll is definitely enjoyable.

Manfredonia represents the symbolic southern ports of the Gargano. It is well sheltered by the surrounding mountains and enjoys a strategic location, which allows those arriving here by boat to easily reach the Bari area, other Gargano towns, and the Tremiti Islands.
Leaving Manfredonia and heading north, the coast becomes high and rocky and offers a series of very picturesque coves and caves and some beautiful little beaches, such as that of Mattinatella Bay.

The town, like all other Gargano towns, is part of the National Park of the same name, created in the 1990s in order to preserve the delicate local ecosystem.

Manfredonia’s Porto Vecchio is a good starting point for exploring the Gargano and Puglia in general Puglia

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.
