Description

The ports of Malamocco

The port of Malamocco is nothing more than the central access to the Venice Lagoon. The most functional in the Marghera direction, it lies south of the port of Lido San Nicolò and north of the port structure of Chioggia.

Its connection with Porto Marghera is through the Petroli Canal, in a geographical setting that sees it situated between the islands of Lido and Pellestrina. It takes its name from the nearby town of Malamocco and sees a particular geographical conformation of its surface.

It is practically protected by two long breakwaters that make it definitely fascinating to see, also thanks to the presence of the Rocchetta lighthouse located at the Spignon Tower. As of today, however, there are plans to renovate the area. In fact, as part of the project called MOSE, a set of works are planned that will massively change its appearance. Land reclamation, rearrangement of the seabed and the construction of a third dam placed offshore with a side basin dedicated to access, with the presence of barrage against high waters.

These numerous works are necessary, precisely in pursuit of the increasing number of dangers highlighted in the area. First of all, the shallow waters located on the sides of the navigable channels that have been the protagonists of many accidents. Of equal importance, also the absence of light signals in the access lagoon channels, which obviously make maneuvering difficult at night or in low seasonal visibility.

The entire dock, including the area of Lido and Chioggia, securing up to 290 berths for even very large boats, thanks to its depths of up to 15 meters. The facility is also available to sailboats from 7 to 16 meters.

For those who use this access, it is important to be clear about a set of prohibitions that the latest port authorities have notified, especially in view of the major works underway. Especially on the two sides of the north and south breakwater, it is not possible to proceed in navigation, anchoring, fishing or any other maritime activity. Obviously, in the vicinity of these areas, it is necessary to observe a very cautious transit with minimum speed in order to avoid wave motion.

The port of Malamocco is thus a port access that represents an important point in the dock connection of the Venice Lagoon. Clearly, many of its functionalities are still compromised by the multiple works that characterize it and that will still feature it in the coming years.

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.
