Description

The port of Rio Marina on the island of Elba is second after Portoferraio among the ports of arrival for the ferries. The ports have been the embarkation point for transport ships of material extracted from nearby mines in the municipalities of Rio and Rio Marina.

A breakwater and quay equipped with bollards and mooring rings make up the structure of the port, which has a northeast entrance. The port offers 100 berths, 15 of which are reserved for transit. Entry hours are continuous, and boats must have a maximum length of 15 meters. Water, stores to replenish the galley, bars and restaurants can be found at the dock. The fuel station is in the village 250 meters from the port. Well sheltered, with Sirocco and Libeccio winds the undertow rises in the ports making it impassable.

The port is overlooked by high ground behind the town that bears the marks of the excavations of old mines. The hills are clearly visible from offshore along with the built-up area of Rio Marina. Landmarks on approach are also the towers on the elbow and at the Radice of the pier. Arriving at night, a reference point becomes the lantern placed on the head of the outer pier.

In Rio Marina the iron mining activity prevalent until the 1960s has now given way to tourist development. The medieval village that winds through narrow alleys, small squares and long stairways is dominated by a polygonal tower from the first half of the 16th century. In the Town Hall you can visit the Elban Mining Museum, which documents all types of minerals found on the island. It is possible to take excursions to the iron mines, the tower, Mount Grosso, the islands of Palmaiola, Cerboli, and the islet of Topi.

Rio Marina offers a wide choice of beaches. On the eastern side they are for the most part made up of fine, shiny sand while the coast to the south has sheer cliffs and coves that can only be reached by sea. The most popular beach is Topinetti beach along the road from Rio Marina to Cavo formed by fine black and shiny sand.

Among the typical dishes of Rio Marina are stoccafisso alla riese, gurguglione, rice and fennel, zuppa con l’ove, and schiaccia briaca riese. Other dishes that can be enjoyed in the many local restaurants include sburrita di baccala’, zeri ammarinati, and the classic boiled octopus.

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.
