Description

A natural haven where history, culture, and nature converge, the Agropoli marina is an excellent destination for anyone wishing to experience the unspoiled landscapes of the Cilento National Park and serves as a key hub for the tourism and commercial development of the entire Cilento region. For those traveling down the Tyrrhenian coast, past the ancient ruins of Paestum, Agropoli can be considered the gateway to Cilento: crossing its threshold reveals a world where history, culture, traditions, and natural beauty blend together. The origins of its name attest to its Greek heritage; in fact, Agropoli means “high town” (from àkros/high – pòlis/town). The Agropoli area has been inhabited since the Neolithic era by peoples who lived by hunting and fishing. At the mouth of the Testene River, there was once a bay used by the Greeks for trade, both before and after the founding of nearby Poseidonia (ancient Paestum). In Roman times, beginning in the 1st century B.C., there is evidence of a small coastal settlement, Ercula, near what is now the San Marco promenade, which was intended to serve as a landing place for the nearby Paestum as well, whose port was becoming silted up.

In ancient times, it was a small natural harbor, featuring a sheltered cove for boats and a “fort,” a gathering place for local sailors. In the 1960s, the marina began its gradual but steady development. It is a safe harbor just a stone’s throw from the historic center and the shopping streets, in the western part of the Town of the same name.

The port of Agropoli today is considered the true port of Cilento, completely artificial, carved out within the inlet that opens south of Punta del Fortino and consists of a 572-meter-long elbowed breakwater, a 327-meter-long shore quay, with a large yard behind, and a 159.43-meter-long sub-billow quay.

The facilities for recreational boating currently have a capacity of approximately 1,000 berths. From the shore quay and the second arm of the breakwater pier, there are 17 floating docks, 9 of which are managed by private operators organized into the EUROMAR consortium, 6 by the municipality, and 2 by associations. The berths are distributed as follows: 5 floating docks under private concession, providing a total of approximately 300 berths; 2 floating docks under concession to the Italian Naval League, providing approximately 250 berths; 4 concrete piers and 2 floating piers under concession to the Municipality of Agropoli, providing approximately 250 berths; and 5 floating piers under concession to private operators, providing approximately 200 berths.

The harbor entrance is 145 meters wide, and the subsequent turning basin has a diameter of 165 meters; the water depths for docking and maneuvering in the basin range from 6 to 5 meters. The ports’ land areas have a total surface area of 31,051 square meters.

Not far from the marina, it is possible to immerse oneself in the lush green Cilento nature and enjoy a unique view from the legendary ancient village.

Recent news reports have highlighted the request made during the last City Council meeting by the mayor of Agropoli and the councilor for the port to the Campania Region, asking that the Municipality of Agropoli be allowed to manage the entire port area once the state concessions expire in 2015, as well as an international design competition for the redevelopment of the marina. This is a strategic decision aimed at implementing management procedures and planning initiatives designed to revitalize the economic, social, and tourism-related role of the port area, one of the most important in southern Italy.

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.
