Description

Although it has no facilities, the anchorage of Marina di Campo is a favorite stopping point for sailors heading toward the eastern coast of Corsica. For boaters arriving from the east, Marina di Campo remains out of sight until they reach the harbor entrance. However, the location is easily recognizable thanks to the presence of Monte Poro.

When approaching the anchorages, it is important to watch out for the numerous rocks jutting out from the island’s southern coast, known as the Monte Tambone Cliffs. The entrance to the small marina is clearly marked by a red light mounted on a tower.

The harbor is very small and offers only modest shelter from the Scirocco winds, which create strong surf and make mooring difficult when they blow too strongly. A small pier is reserved for fishing, and many moorings are set aside for fishermen and law enforcement.

As a result, there are few moorings available to recreational boaters, which is why the best option may be to stay in the anchorage. The dock is raised only a few meters above the water’s surface—about two meters—making docking very inconvenient. Amenities are virtually nonexistent. The seabed, which is even and sandy, provides good holding both inside the harbor and in the anchorage.

Pay special attention to winds coming from the southeast, as the anchorage is exposed to them. The nighttime breeze, coming from the southwest, is often cool and brisk. Keep in mind that as you move toward the center of the bay, the nighttime swell increases in intensity.

The beach surrounding the anchorage is beautiful and enchanting. The beach at Marina di Campo is, in fact, the longest on the entire island: it stretches for nearly 2 kilometers and is characterized by wonderful white sand of granite origin. Along the vast beach, there are numerous beach clubs to choose from; however, there are also plenty of open areas of beach available to tourists free of charge.

The beach at Marina di Campo is perfect even for the youngest children, since entering the water is made easier by several areas where the water is particularly shallow. For those who enjoy sports, there’s the option to rent canoes, windsurfing boards, and kayaks. The Club del Mare operates a sailing school, which has been open since 1974 and is located on the western side of the beach, toward the harbor.

Planes fly low: the island’s only airport is located near the town. The town center is located behind the beach and is full of bars, restaurants, clubs, and shops. Marina di Campo has a reputation as a trendy destination; as a result, there is no shortage of trendy spots and a nightclub, which can also be reached on foot via a very pleasant stroll along the beach.

Marina di Campo is an enchanting place, but it’s also very crowded, especially in the summer. The anchorage fills with a large number of boats, but the seabed is perfectly level and slopes evenly, making it easy to anchor in virtually any area of the anchorage (taking care to avoid private buoys).

Very close to Marina di Campo is Lacona, another enchanting beach with crystal-clear waters. A little further on, within the Golfo Stella, lies Margidore: a renowned destination popular with many tourists, offering plenty of campgrounds and opportunities to try guided diving, snorkeling, and scuba diving courses.

Do you need 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.
