Description

The Port of Mergellina is the second-largest port in the city of Naples and is currently one of the most important tourist ports in the Gulf of Naples. Since the port serves as the main link between the peninsula and the islands of Ischia and Capri, it sees a heavy flow of ships, high-speed hydrofoils, and ferries.

This port was once used exclusively by local fishermen; today, however, it has been expanded and converted into a marina. A long breakwater pier protects the south side, while the north side is protected by an inner pier.

The pier reserved for hydrofoils is located within the harbor basin, more specifically to the west of the breakwater; in the innermost part, we can see several floating docks extending from the shore. The areas reserved for recreational boating extend for about 1.5 km and are managed by several companies: Luise & Sons, Cooperativa Ormeggiatori Nautici Mergellina, and ASNA.

Inside the ports, refueling is possible due to the presence of a gas station that dispenses SIF gasoline, mixture and diesel fuel; the fuel station is located at the dock and is open from h 06.00 in the morning to h 20.00 in the evening.

Its close proximity to the city center means that all kinds of services and amenities are easily accessible; in any case, there are many services available to boaters right within the marina itself. Repairs are available for electrical systems, engines, sails, and hulls made of wood, steel, or fiberglass. You can also take advantage of outdoor or indoor storage services. Additionally, there is a fixed crane with a capacity of up to 20 metric tons and five mobile cranes with a capacity of up to 15 metric tons.

From the port of Mergellina, you can admire the Posillipo Hill, a promontory of rare beauty characterized by sumptuous villas and cliffs that plunge straight into the sea. Also at Capo Posillipo is the Parco Virgiliano, a green oasis not far from the Parco Sommerso di Gaiola, which can only be visited via guided boat tours or through snorkeling and diving excursions.

The most distinctive feature of this Underwater Park is the fusion of volcanic, archaeological, and biological elements found within it. On the seabed of the park, visitors can observe the remains of ports, nymphaea, and fishponds that have been submerged due to the slow and gradual subsidence of the Earth’s crust. The constant renewal of the water, combined with the geomorphological complexity of the area, has also allowed numerous marine biological communities typical of the Mediterranean to establish themselves within just a few hectares of sea.

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.
