Description

The Gulf of Lacona is one of the most beautiful settings in the incredible landscape of Elba Island. Sailing across the emerald-green sea that characterizes the coast, many boats and tourists ride the calm waves to reach the most famous tourist and beach resorts.

It often happens that Porto Azzurro—the largest and most famous marina—can be crowded and difficult to dock at, especially during peak season. That’s why boats that choose to extend their journey as far as Golfo Stella can also find an excellent place to dock in the Gulf of Lacona.

It is a decidedly touristy anchorage, nestled in a picturesque setting. In fact, the anchorage blends perfectly with the stunning mountainous hills that overlook and shield a sandy beach of remarkable brilliance. The sandy seabed slopes gently away from the beach, allowing boats to anchor well away from the shore and, therefore, from swimmers.

Opposite the small beach, the water is about 6 meters deep over light-colored sand, where you can drop anchor (about 150 meters from shore), and about 8 meters deep 200–300 meters from shore. The Gulf of Lacona offers boaters good shelter from northern winds. It is surrounded by steep cliffs on both the left and right sides.

About 2 miles deep, it is surrounded on both sides by steep cliffs and features two beaches, one to the east and one to the west. Both offer the best anchorages for those who want to drop anchor and take advantage of the beautiful sea for a swim. Alternatively, you can go ashore and enjoy the coastal restaurants, which offer excellent service and authentic local cuisine.

The beaches also offer visitors attractions specifically tied to recreational and tourist activities by the sea. In fact, within the gulf, heading toward Capo Stella and/or Capo Fonza, you can enjoy scuba diving in the sandy seabed or rent jet skis. For those who are tired of sunbathing on a boat and would prefer to enjoy the mainland, the beach offers umbrella and lounge chair rentals.

The Gulf of Lacona is therefore not just a destination you can easily reach by car or bus. It offers a wonderful stretch of sparkling sea where you can moor, allowing you to enjoy the area’s many tourist and beach attractions. An incredible gem of Elba Island, it guarantees passing boats a memorable experience to record in their travel journals.

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.
