Description

Port Xifonio of Augusta, in the province of Syracuse, is located in an inlet between the southern end of Augusta and Punta S. Elia.
Together with Megarese Harbor and the Priolo breast, it is one of the large sections of sea between Punta Izzo and Punta Carcarella.
Composed of a seabed of mud and sand, the anchorage is characterized by an area of shallow water that extends from the coast toward the center of the inlet with a ridge from Cape Santa Croce for winds from quadrants I, III and IV.
The marina is open 24 hours a day and has a mooring capacity of 70 berths for boats up to 140 meters in length. Porto Xifonio consists of two 70-meter wooden piers, with facilities for refueling boats with gasoline, diesel, and mixed fuel.
There are three areas reserved for recreational boating within Porto Xifonio:


  • Club Nautico Augusta (37°14.44′ N; 15°14.06′ E), a private club, is an amateur sports association. The seabed consists of rocks and Posidonia, and the marina has 200 berths for boats up to 3.40 meters in length. To enter, it is recommended to pull alongside and stay aligned with the two red buoys located at the entrance to the marina, which mark the boundary of the rocky shoals;



  • At Giacomo’s Pier (37°14.38′ N; 15°13.49′ E), the facility consists of wooden piers for recreational boating and features a seabed composed of sand, rock, and Posidonia. There are 100 berths for boats with a maximum length of 12.00 meters and a maximum draft of 1.00 meter. When entering, it is advisable to stay well to the west side due to the presence of rocky shoals in front of the pier. Furthermore, in the event of strong winds from the Scirocco or from the south, it is recommended to anchor in waters no shallower than 5 m.



  • Molo Marina ( 37°14.50′ N; 15°13.68′ E) consists of small wooden piers for recreational boating. The seabed consists of rocks and Posidonia, and the marina has a capacity of approximately 150 berths for boats up to 7 meters in length. When mooring, you must stay on the starboard side due to the presence of rocky shoals in front of the pier.


As for services and equipment in the recreational areas, there is a Q8 fuel, diesel and mixture station on Lungomare Rossini Street, set up for refueling boats and vessels.
Recall that the Port of Augusta (37° 11′,72 N; 15° 14′,07 E), of which Port Xifonio is a part, is not only a commercial, industrial and tourist port, but also an important naval base of the Italian Navy.

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.
