Description

One of the most famous moorings on the island of Ponza, Cala di Feola is a great way to spend the day and night at anchorage away from the crowded ports of Ponza, but with the possibility of using the services of the nearby village of Le Forna.

Cala di Feola is located in the northwestern part of the island; it offers shelter from winds from the second and third quadrants, while it is exposed to westerly winds, like all the bays on this side of the island of Ponza. The natural cove of Feola is sheltered by a small pier used for mooring fishing boats; it is not available for recreational boats. It is possible to drop anchor in the anchorage in front of the pier on mixed rocky and sandy bottoms at a depth of 10–15 meters.

As with all the bays on the western side of the island, it is essential to have up-to-date information on marine weather conditions because the westerly exposure can make anchoring risky in the event of strong winds. Especially in the summer, there may be unmanned vessels in the anchorage, increasing the danger in the event of anchoring problems. A notice from the Harbor Master’s Office warns of the danger of landslides and falling rocks.

Cala di Feola is famous for the pools carved by the sea into the tuff, which form natural swimming pools where you can swim. The light color of the sand on the seabed, the clarity of the water, and the blue of the Ponza Sea complete a scene of extraordinary beauty. Also very striking are the houses carved into the tuff by the bay’s first settlers, which can still be seen intact today. However, the monk seals that, until a few decades ago, populated the cliffs of Cala di Feola in winter are no longer present.

The beach at the far end of the bay, with its fine gravel, is equipped with food stands, bars, and restaurants, as well as lounge chairs and umbrellas, and offers the option to rent diving gear. Both the beach and the anchorage are very popular in the summer, though certainly less so than the eastern part of the island. The village of Le Forna is accessible on foot via a steep but well-maintained and easy-to-follow trail. In the village, you can find all the basic amenities: bars, restaurants, a small supermarket, scooter rentals, etc. The walk also offers a beautiful view of the entire Cala di Feola and the nearby Cala dell’Acqua, separated by a small headland.

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.
