Description

The island of Salina is part of the Aeolian Islands archipelago in the province of Messina in Sicily. The island is the second largest after Lipari of the seven that make up the archipelago and measures about 26 km².

Salina is rocky, has two extinct volcanoes and lives mainly from grape growing and tourism; the island was the setting for the 1994 film Il postino starring Massimo Troisi.

The Aeolian Islands are popular with sea-loving tourists, and the second main landing place on the island of Salina is the small port of Rinella. The landing place has a pier about 100 meters long that is docked on the east side to which both scheduled ships and those of passing boaters dock.

The areas reserved for boating are exclusively at the buoy off the east and west reefs, where there is a redoubtable buoy field protected from the winds. Access to the mooring area is provided by an all-day shuttle service, and the surface area is approximately 2200 m².

Care must be taken at the entrance to the jetty, because there is a shoal in the western part. The sea floor is sand, and it is also possible to anchor on the alignment that is on the north side of the Punta del Perciato stacks.

The Faraglione is a typical image of the Aeolian islands and is one of the most striking places in the entire archipelago; it is a natural arch created in volcanic rock and is one of the most beautiful spots for scuba diving.

Diving in the shoal of Punta Perciato is one of the many reasons that lead tourists to visit the island of Salina incessantly.The shoal is very extensive and runs parallel to the very rugged coastline. One can admire sponges, posidonia, sea fans and all kinds of fish.

In 1980 the Salina Nature Park was established and since 1981 the Two Mountains Reserve, that is, the two extinct volcanoes. Rinella is a fishing village and has a very distinctive beach of pebbles and black sand.

In the marina there are caves carved into the tuff that were once used by fishermen as a shelter for boats, and near the marina’s docked pier the seabed reaches a maximum depth of 4 meters.

In the sea floor of the Aeolian Islands there are still volcanic phenomena, which consist of emanation of vapors and gases that when particularly pronounced completely change the sea floor.

Rinella offers many recreational opportunities, is a well-equipped village, and is the second most important ports on the island of Salina after Santa Marina Salina.

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.
