Description

In the northwestern part of Sardinia in the province of Sassari opens the beautiful bay of Porto Conte, 6 km deep and 2 wide enclosed by the two promontories of Punta Giglio and Capo Caccia. The whole area is part of the Porto Conte Regional Natural Park, a protected natural area of about 5300 hectares located in the municipality of Alghero.

The park takes its name from the natural inlet of Porto Conte, which is part of the Coral Riviera and faces the anchorage of Alghero, from which it is about 20 kilometers away. The structure of the gulf is very varied, with inlets, cliffs, white sandy beaches and expanses of flat rocks.

In the eastern area there are a number of marinas including Cala Tramariglio, where until 1961 there was a penal colony whose inmates were used to reclaim the marshy and unhealthy land in this part of Sardinia.

Currently inland is the site of a research center and high above is the Tramariglio tower, which towers imposingly over the top of the promontory and was built by the Spanish in medieval times to protect the coast from Arab and barbarian raids. On the opposite side of the bay is a twin tower built for the same purpose, and from the tops of these promontories a spectacular view can be seen.

The marina at Cala Tramariglio is on the western shore of the gulf and is run by the Capo Caccia nautical club. There are a number of 90-, 80-, and 65-meter-long docks reserved for members of the nautical club, but if there are places available, boats in transit can also be moored. In case there is no room, the whole bay is dotted with anchorages and private ports that can offer mooring.

Near the nautical club there is a diving center, because diving is popular in these parts since the seabed is full of wonderful natural caves and coves and the subject of continuous visits by organized groups of tourists. The caves are all along the coast and the most famous are those of Neptune, located 24 km from Alghero on the southern part of Capo Caccia.

Access to the caves, and more generally to the entire northwestern area of the Sardinian coast, is possible only when the marine weather conditions are favorable; if there is a lot of wind, it is impossible to navigate or get out of the many anchorages and coves that line the entire coast. To be sure of finding a place at the ports of Cala Tramariglio, it is advisable to contact the sailing club by phone.

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.
