Description

The anchorage of Isola Rossa is one of the very few in the area to be protected from the mistral and is located in the northwest part of the Sardinian coast in the locality of Trinitร  d’Agultu e Vignola in the Province of Olbia-Tempio. Isola Rossa is between Castelsardo and Costa Paradiso above a small promontory where a 16th-century Spanish tower stands. The town is surrounded by a cliff with many coves, and to the north are the two promontories of Isola Rossa and Punta Li Canneddi.

There are some lovely beaches along the coast, including the Marinedda beach set among red porphyry rocks. Facing the coast is the Red Island, after which the town is named, as well as the typical red rocks that abound along the coast. The bay’s natural inlet has always been a safe harbor, and in 1595 the Spanish built a watchtower there to protect it from Saracen pirates.

Since the 1960s, the whole area has become a tourist destination and has developed to the present day with hotels, clubs, and accommodations of all kinds. The port is located south of the tower and has two piers: a southwest-facing, two-armed sub-billow pier and a south, southeast-facing, cranked over-billow pier. In addition, there are a number of floating docks that allow the mooring of nearly 500 berths.

The seabed in the anchorages ranges from 10 to 50 meters, while in the quay it reaches up to 7 meters, and it is forbidden to enter the port at a speed greater than 3 knots. The pier intended for recreational and transit boats is Pier H, and the port is managed by the Union of Municipalities Alta Gallura, which should be contacted via VHF 9 or by phone 393-9230804 before approaching. In the northern part of the harbor’s east coast, the seabed is very shallow and generally throughout the anchorage is mixed rock and sand.

The port is equipped with all possible services and is used as a starting point for excursions in Gallura. The town is rich in tourist attractions because it thrives on tourism thanks to the splendid area in terms of landscape, architecture and history. To the west of Isola Rossa is the Gulf of Asinara with Porto Torres and to the east is Santa Teresa di Gallura. In between are a whole series of coves with wild, unspoiled beaches reachable only by sea. If a very strong mistral wind blows you may encounter some difficulty in maneuvering when entering the port of Isola Rossa.

REGISTRATI

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.
