Description

Favignana is the largest and most important island of the Egadi Islands. It is crisscrossed from north to south by the hilly ridge nicknamed Montagna Grossa and has two mooring points, Cala Principale and Punta Longa.

Main Cove has a circular shape, with an opening to the north and north – west. From the eastern end of the Cove departs a breakwater pier in a North – West direction. This pier, currently undergoing work to extend it, is internally docked and is used for ferry docking.

From the breakwater pier departs in a southerly direction the St. Leonard Pier, which is undergoing work to consolidate the quay. The Main Pier, on the other hand, departs from the quay in Piazza Marina and is used to allow docking for pleasure boats. At the end of the Cove, the presence of a beach is emphasized.

The port of Cala Principale is characterized by a mixed sandy-rocky seabed with the presence of seaweed. It should be noted that near the fuel station at the quay the seabed is shallow, about 3 meters. There are 100 berths available, 30 of which are reserved exclusively for boats in transit.

The southern head of Molo S. Leonardo offers berths to vessels between 15 and 60 meters in length and having a maximum draft of 5.5 meters. These berths are managed by the Egadi Island Moorers.

The commercial dock allows berthing, from h 7:30 pm to 07:30 am, for boats that have a maximum length of 70 meters and do not exceed 6 meters draft. 30 berths are reserved for boats of up to 20 meters long and 4 meters wide.

The west side of the inner jetty is reserved for vessels longer than 7.5 meters. The dock at Piazzale Marina, on the other hand, can accommodate boats up to 7.5 meters in length.

The moorings are managed by La Darsena di Gigi and the Marina di Favignana.

The period from April 1 to July 15 is the tuna fishing period: during these months, the stretch of water is reserved for tuna trap units, and it is advisable to pay close attention to the tuna trap’s markings in the vicinity of the Piazzale Marina.

The fuel station is located at the quay. It dispenses gasoline and diesel fuel and is open from h 8 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.

Some berths are exclusively reserved for state agencies while others, marked with yellow stripes, are left free for emergency situations and for boat renters.

The services provided are many. Sockets for drinking water and electricity are available; there is no shortage of slipway, mobile crane and slipway as well as outdoor storage.

Engine repairs, electrical and electronic repairs, sail repairs, and wood and fiberglass hull repairs are carried out.

Pilotage service is available. Divers and moorers are always present, while security is provided by the security guard service. Boaters can make use of showers and toilets, as well as garbage pickup service and telephone booths.

Car parking is available. There is no shortage of bars, restaurants, supermarket, and ice resale nearby.

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.
