Description

Porto Vecchio in Porto Ercole overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea and is located between Punta dello Scoglione and Santa Barbara Pier, which reaches 315 meters in length and is equipped with the mooring rings. The Porto Vecchio is located in the central part of the most modern area of Porto Ercole.

To the north of the port rise two promontories on which the old guard fortifications of Fort Filippo and Fort Santa Caterina stand out; on the southern side is another promontory, on which the Aldobrandesque fortress was built in ancient times to protect the town and port.

The Porto Ercole area is rich in history: Porto Vecchio was a strategic port of fundamental importance as early as the Middle Ages, first for the Aldobrandeschi family and then for the Republic of Siena. When Porto Ercole was annexed to the Presidi State during the sixteenth century, the Spanish further improved the structure of the port and built new guard posts on the surrounding heights.

The port consists of three piers: Molo Sanità, Molo delle Grotte and Moletto delle Grotte. The piers are connected to each other by a quay, the Andrea Doria waterfront, from which 5 floating docks are detached, under private concession. These piers offer a total of 825 berths, including 2 exclusively reserved for transit.

The maximum length allowed for boats is 24 meters when mooring at docks and 14 meters for boats in transit.

The seabed, muddy in the center and rocky near the breakwater, varies greatly in depth: in the basin it ranges from a minimum of 1.5 meters to a maximum of 7 meters, while at the dock the depth is between 0.5 and 3 meters.

Mechanical equipment within the port includes a fixed crane of up to 5 tons and a 25-ton mobile crane. There is also a slipway of up to 500 tons and a slipway. Electrical and electronic repairs, engine repairs, and repairs of wooden or fiberglass hulls are carried out within the port. Sails are also repaired.

The fuel station is located at the quay and dispenses gasoline, diesel and mixture. It is open only during the summer season from 07:30 to 19:30. There are 180 sockets available to use electricity and 10 hose sockets. Water supply is available only from h 18.00 to 22.00.

The starboard side and the head of the Caves Pier are reserved exclusively for the Coast Guard.

Boat servicing, boat guarding and garbage collection services are provided.

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.
