Description

The Roman Port of Ventotene, also known as Porto Vecchio, is an extremely distinctive and one-of-a-kind harbor. Unlike most ports, it does not jut out into the sea but instead appears to be almost clinging to the mainland.

This particular configuration is undoubtedly due to its origin. The Roman Port of Ventotene is not, in fact, a natural basin but rather the result of the artificial excavation of a tuff bank (a common feature on the island) that sloped down into the sea, with a total of 60,000 cubic meters of material removed. The result was the port’s artificial basin, with an average depth of 3 meters and surrounded and protected by rock.

The construction of Porto Romano should be viewed within the context of the intensive exploitation of the island during the transitional period between the Republic and the Empire. The project was likely completed as early as the Augustan era, when Ventotene was annexed to the other imperial possessions.

The harbor entrance faces east, making it easy to enter even in bad weather or when strong Libeccio and Maestrale winds are blowing. However, winds from the first quadrant cause strong backwash, while during the winter season, Grecale winds can make it very difficult to leave the harbor.

Note the presence of a rocky shoal right at the entrance that can make some access maneuvers difficult.

The marina offers 40 berths for boats up to 12 meters in length. Boats longer than 12 meters may enter the marina only in cases of special need or emergency.

Access hours are continuous, but before entering ports it is necessary to contact Diving Ciro Sub by phone to confirm actual mooring availability.

Inside the port, recreational boaters can use outlets that provide drinking water and electricity. Services provided include fire protection, weather information, and pilotage.

The port is secured by a security patrol service. Mooring attendants and divers are also available. In the nearby town, you’ll find a large number of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and shops. There is an ice vendor inside the port.

Porto Romano is equipped with a slipway and a mobile crane with a lifting capacity of up to 50 metric tons. Boaters can take advantage of the outdoor storage service. The marina also offers engine repairs, electrical repairs, and repairs to wooden or fiberglass hulls.

The moorings are managed by several private companies. The main one is Diving Ciro Sub, which is open year-round.

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.
