Description

Port de Propriano is a commercial, tourist, and fishing port located on the southern shore of the Gulf of Valinco, between Ajaccio and Bonifacio. The port lies within a cove bounded to the north by Scogliu Longu, on which the breakwater and the commercial port’s docks are built. To the southeast is the marina, consisting of two adjacent basins accessible via several entrances. The larger basin, located to the east with its entrance marked by a green light, has a 440-meter-long, L-shaped breakwater. The second, smaller basin is located south of the commercial port.

The port offers 330 berths, including 40 for transit vessels up to 48 meters in length and with a draft of 4.5 meters in the main basin and 2.8 meters in the second basin. The port features a fuel pump, water and electricity outlets, a 20-metric-ton crane, and a slipway. There is also a supermarket, bars, hotels, and restaurants in the port.

If you’re coming from the north, pass Pointe de Porto Pollo, keeping an eye out for the Rochers du Turavu shoal. If arriving from the south, head toward the end of the gulf until you spot the town of Propriano. Near the harbor, watch out for a shoal located 150 meters north of the lighthouse on Scogliu Longu. At night, approach the port by staying within the white sector of the lighthouse’s beam, passing to the north to avoid the shoal.

To enter the main harbor, pass the green light on the breakwater on your right; pass the white light on your left to enter the smaller harbor. The marina is fully sheltered. Ships and ferries have the right of way. Anchoring within the commercial port is prohibited. Once you have entered the port, contact the Harbor Master’s Office to be assigned a berth.

Propriano, nestled at the far end of the Gulf of Valinco, is a popular tourist and beach resort with long beaches. Notable beaches include Plage du Corsaire, Plage du Lido, Plage du Cape Larosu, and, further south, the picturesque Plage de Portigliolo. The water sports center rents out windsurf boards, catamarans, and sea kayaks and organizes boat excursions.

North of Propriano lies the prehistoric archaeological site of Filitosa, one of the largest in Europe. This prehistoric site, designated a World Heritage Site, is famous for its array of menhir statues with carved faces.

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.
