Description

The port of Bordighera, located northeast of Capo Sant’Ampelio, is managed by the Municipality of Bordighera. The port is bordered by a long, approximately 260-meter-long breakwater jetty facing northeast and a shorter, southeast-facing jetty, both equipped with a quay featuring mooring rings and bollards. Inside the harbor are six piers which, together with the quay, make up the area reserved for recreational boaters. One entire pier is dedicated to vessels in transit.

The port’s entrance faces northeast; the Levante and Libeccio winds cause significant surf. Incoming vessels must maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the red light located at the head of the outer breakwater, traveling at a maximum speed of 2 knots. Entry is not recommended when winds are coming from Quadrants I and II. Access hours are from sunrise to sunset; transit is free for at least 12 hours. Recreational boaters have access to water and electricity supplies, a slipway for small boats, a dry dock, a 25-metric-ton mobile crane, and outdoor winter storage.

Bordighera, located on the coast of the Western Ligurian Riviera about twenty kilometers from the French border, is the southernmost municipality in all of Liguria. An important seaside resort and famous for its flower cultivation, it is divided into the old town, built on Capo Sant’Ampelio overlooking the sea, and the new town. Worth visiting are the Clarence Bicknell Museum and Library, home to the International Institute of Ligurian Studies, and, in the old town, the 17th-century Church of Santa Maria Maddalena and the Oratory of San Bartolomeo.

Of particular interest is the hamlet of Sasso, an ancient fortified village built atop a rock, featuring tower houses and the remains of its city walls, surrounded by vegetable gardens and greenhouses. Nearby is Dolceacqua, famous for its Rossese wine production, where the Doria Castle is located. Vallebona, an ancient fortified town, is located 5 km from Bordighera.

The beaches of Bordighera They’re made of rocks and stones. In the crystal-clear waters here, you can go surfing, water skiing, scuba diving and wakeboarding.

Since Bordighera is located in a border region, its cuisine is influenced by French and Piedmontese traditions as well as Ligurian ones. Typical dishes include gnocchetti with shrimp, baked borage lasagna, maccheroncini a-u tuccu, lamb with artichokes, kid with myrtle and balsamic vinegar, vegetable and meat rolls, and marinated eels (caught in the Nervia River), seasoned with light sauces and aromatic herbs and paired with the traditional Rossese and Vermentino wines.

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.
