Description

Brgulje ( Berguglie) on the Croatian island of Molat is a sheltered anchorage for boats on a sandy seabed, located in the gulf of the same name, just behind the islet of Brguljski. It is also the arrival point for the hydrofoil, which causes waves.

To reach Brgulije, we recommend approaching from the west; from the east, entry is difficult due to the mandatory passage between the islands, where the water depth is shallow in some places (for example, 1.5 meters at Malo Zaplo). To the west, however, the passage is easier; at night, use the white light flashing every fifteen seconds on the left and the white light flashing every three seconds on the right as reference points. Opposite the first light described, there is a shoal with a depth of 8 meters.

As a boating destination in Croatia, Brgulje is well-known and highly regarded by recreational boaters (primarily Sailing Boats), thanks to the enchanting bay that surrounds it. The bay, where boats and yachts often anchor, is one of the safest anchorages on the entire island. It is sheltered from all winds, and in addition to 30 berths along the pier, there are many buoys available and space for about 200 boats at anchor, in addition to the 30 berths along the shore. Most of the buoys are located between the town of Berguglie and the small island across from it; when the sirocco wind blows, waves build up and mooring at the buoys is not comfortable. Water and electricity are available at the pier; fuel refueling is available by appointment only. For all information, call the port number listed below. There is also a restaurant and a small convenience store. For nighttime entry, look for the green light flashing every three seconds located at the pier where the ferry docks.

Regarding mooring at buoys, please note that when moored to one of these (in good condition), a 10-meter-long boat will generally be safe in sea state 7–8. As the boat’s length increases, the wind force must be reduced; for a 15-meter boat, the buoy can safely hold the mooring in sea state 6–7, and so on. However, it is always advisable to check the rope’s integrity, as maintenance may be lacking and the ropes are prone to rapid wear and tear. It often happens that the mooring buoy at the base tips over, and once in this position, due to continuous friction, it causes the rope to wear out very quickly. In summary, once moored, remember to give the rope a quick tug backward to verify that it is securely held.

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.
