Description

Positano Bay is one of the most famous inlets on the Amalfi Coast.

Near Marina Grande Beach, there is a pier with an iron jetty. Mooring in this area is permitted only within the first 38 meters of the pier, and only scheduled hydrofoils and vessels authorized for tourist transport are permitted to dock here.

For recreational boats, however, it is possible to moor at the buoy near the town’s main marina (300–400 meters from the beach), in areas managed by local mooring cooperatives. The cooperatives also provide a shuttle service to shore for customers who do not have a tender on board or who wish to use it to disembark
In any case, it is not possible to moor in the area adjacent to the pier, and care must be taken not to obstruct the hydrofoils’ route or hinder their navigation.

There are no gas stations or grocery stores in the immediate vicinity of the landing site. However, in the Marina Grande area, you can find restaurants, shops, and a gas station.

Alternatively, it is possible to give anchor near the beaches of Fornillo (west of Marina Grande), Arienzo and Laurito (east of Marina Grande).
However, it is strongly discouraged to moor near beaches in quadrant II and III winds.
Whether you choose to moor at the buoy or give anchor in the bay, it is definitely worth going ashore and visiting Positano, a paradise of colors, majolica domes and fragrant gardens overlooking the sea.

Marina Grande offers a spacious beach (as well as several bars and shops) and is the starting point for many excursions along the Amalfi Coast. The smaller beaches (Fiumiciello, Fornillo) are very picturesque and generally less crowded than Marina Grande.

Climbing to the top of the village, one enters a small labyrinth of narrow streets and stairways, discovering the small glimpses of sea views and the many local craft stores.

Positano Bay is an ideal starting point for setting sail toward other destinations along the Amalfi Coast, all of which are easily accessible. For those who prefer not to take a boat, Amalfi and the Sorrento Peninsula can also be reached by taking the local buses that pass through town.
Sorrento is 14 miles from the Bay of Positano. To reach Agropoli, one of the first ports of call on the Cilento Coast, the journey is about 28 miles.

For hiking enthusiasts, Positano is also one of the best places to set out on the Sentiero degli Dei. The trail starts in the hamlet of Nocelle and winds through unspoiled nature, suspended between the sky, the sea, and the land.

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.
