Description

Cala di Mola is a cove located west of Porto Azzurro on the island of Elba, in the Province of Livorno. The cove is sheltered from winds and currents, and mooring is managed by private operators or the Golfo di Mola shipyard. The area is very well equipped and has everything you need, including services for repairs to electrical systems, hulls, or engines, as well as a security service.

There are 80 power and drinking water outlets, a boat hoist, a mobile crane with a capacity of up to 150 t, outdoor or indoor boat storage, trash pickup, restrooms, and car parking. The anchorage is marked by a white-flash lighthouse (Group 3) with a range of 16 M at Capo Focardo and a flash interval of 15 seconds.

At Cala di Mola, you can drop anchor and moor to the mooring buoy, the buoys, or the shipyard dock. The island of Elba is famous for its pristine seabed, attracting tourists who are passionate about sailing and scuba diving from all over the world.

There are numerous shipwrecks in the area, which is why the seabed is a popular destination for divers. Off the coast of Porto Azzurro Bay lies the famous Punta Cera (or Punta Nera) shipwreck, dating back to the late third century, which rests on a sandy seabed at a depth of 35 meters.

In Porto Azzurro, there are many scuba diving and sailing schools, and there is no shortage of beaches accessible by land or sea. The island of Elba is part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, which includes seven major islands, three minor islands, and several islets, for a total of approximately 16,000 hectares of land and 56,000 hectares of sea.

Elba is the largest of the islands and lies about 10 km off the coast. In addition to its crystal-clear sea, the island’s interior is no less interesting. There are traces of human habitation dating back to the Paleolithic era, and thanks to its numerous iron deposits, Elba played a key role in the emergence of Etruscan civilization.

There are many Etruscan villages built on the hills and in strategic locations overlooking the sea. The sea routes were heavily used for the iron trade, and the Etruscans also left behind several necropolises, the remains of which are now housed in the archaeological museums of Portoferraio and Porto Azzurro.

The Romans also settled on the island of Elba, leaving behind several villas by the sea; Portoferraio itself dates back to Roman times, and two necropolises have been discovered there. There are at least five shipwrecks dating back to Roman times located in various areas around the island of Elba.

Following numerous archaeological discoveries in 1960, the Elban Association for Archaeological Studies and Research was founded in Portoferraio. The island of Elba is very popular with boaters from all over the world and, at certain times of the year, is even overcrowded.

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.
