Description

The cove of Giglio Campese is located on the island of Giglio and offers good shelter from southerly winds. The bay is exposed to the mistral, but it is still an excellent anchorage for spending the night at anchor. The seabed is sandy, ranging from 6 to 8 meters deep, with buoys marking the safety distance from the beach, which is very crowded in the summer. Be sure to be careful of the sunken pylons in the southwestern part of the bay. You can use the southern side of Giglio Campesetra Bay as an anchorage, between the concrete structure and the sea stack.

The cove of Giglio Campese It’s ideal for surfers and sailors, thanks to the winds blowing from the south. Its west-facing location, on the other hand, makes it unforgettable for those seeking picturesque sunsets, and it also enjoys more sunshine than other towns on the island of Giglio.

Historical background

Giglio Campesewas the last settlement to be established on the island of Giglio, but today it is the most important tourist destination, perhaps thanks in part to the beautiful sandy beach located right in front of the cove of the same name. The seabed of the gulf is known for its abundance of red coral, which in the past was the driving force behind the local economy. This bay is framed on one side by the Faraglione on one side and the Medici Tower , beneath which there are mooring buoys available for a fee. Be careful, however, as the water is very shallow.

The Medici Tower at the cove of Giglio Campese was built in 1700, initially to monitor fishing in the shallows, but later it also served to defend the bay against frequent attacks by Saracen pirates, particularly the one on November 18, 1799, when the island became the scene of the last Moorish attack in Italy. After the unification of Italy, the tower was demilitarized and sold to private owners; it is currently privately owned and used as a vacation home. The tower was built on the rocks to make it difficult to reach, but it is now connected to the mainland by a small bridge.

Activities in the cove of Giglio Campese

The entire island of Giglio and the cove of Giglio Campese boast a particularly beautiful and clean sea, so much so that they have been awarded five blue sails from Legambiente. In Anchorage, you can freely enjoy recreational boating, sport fishing, and scuba diving. The seabed in the cove of Giglio Campese is rocky and therefore a natural habitat for many fish species, such as snappers, amberjacks, Atlantic bonito, and white seabream.

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.
