Description

The Banjol anchorage is located about 2 miles southeast of the port of Rab (Arbe) on the island of the same name. This area offers a good alternative for anchoring your boat if the port has no anchorages available, and an excellent opportunity to fully enjoy the sea. Banjol has a dock where you can find a few spots, with a depth of two meters. There is also a three-metric-ton travel lift.

Like almost all the islands of Dalmatia, the western part is the most sheltered and the one where the vegetation is most lush; the Mediterranean scrub thrives here, thanks in part to the numerous water sources on the island. In town, you’ll find restaurants and shops for supplies. On August 5, St. Lucy’s Day is celebrated with a lively local festival that offers the chance to discover the local culture, especially its cuisine. The locals are hospitable and accustomed to tourists; as early as the late 1800s, the town was already frequented by vacationers from the mainland.

The area near Banjol is well known among tourists for its three famous beaches, which are distinguished by their fine sand—a rarity along the Dalmatian coast, which is primarily composed of limestone. The beaches of Crnika and Suha Punta have been awarded the Blue Flag, a distinction granted by the Foundation for Environmental Education to beach areas that meet quality standards such as cleanliness and water purity. Anchoring near these beaches by boat is made easier by the presence of several small piers (watch your draft); from land, various trails lead to the coves, some of which are designated for naturists. The most well-known beach by far is the southernmost one, Pudarica, which attracts many swimmers and features a pier once used by ferries. The entire area is windy, so you won’t feel the heat on the beach, and sailing around the island is particularly pleasant. Be careful when passing through the Barbat Channel, which is busy during peak season but has calm waters.

In the Adriatic Sea, the bora and the sirocco are the dominant winds, but during the summer season, the mistral also plays an important role. This wind begins to blow around 10 a.m., picks up in the following hours, and dies down in the evening at sunset; it is undoubtedly the best wind for sailing fast and safely.

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.
