Description

The port of Varenna Riva Grande, with its stone piers, offers 15 berths. It is well sheltered from all winds and provides a safe harbor for boating on Lake Como. A mooring pier is located outside the harbor basin and can accommodate 4 boats. Also worth noting is the “Riva Grande” jetty, where fishing boats are moored.

Given its small size, maneuvering in the dock is difficult. Therefore, larger boats are advised not to approach. Public vessels have the right of way over private vessels; even if you are sailing, you must pay close attention to the waves created by the ferries.

The entrance to the harbor is marked by two lights: one red and the other green. During daylight hours, when approaching and mooring from the north, the bell tower and the top of Vezio Castle serve as prominent landmarks. The town of Varenna is clearly visible when approaching from the south. Special attention must be paid to the shallow waters near the mouth of the Esino stream, marked by a pole with an orange light. Other shallow areas are located at the point that shelters the Anchorage where ferries from the south dock. Afternoon breezes blow in this area from the second and third quadrants, reaching speeds of up to 10 knots. During thunderstorms, strong winds of varying directions are common.

The small marina is located near the historic center of Varenna, where you’ll find souvenir shops, bars, and restaurants. Varenna is a charming fishing village situated at the mouth of the Esino River. The village is laid out in a network of narrow streets that descend steeply toward the lake, where the houses are reflected in the water. Situated on the shores of Lake Como, it faces Bellagio, to which it is connected by ferry. To the north and south of the village lie Villa Cipressi and Villa Monastero, respectively.

Don’t miss the hamlet of Fiumelatte, so named for the white foam of the stream that flows only in the spring from a cave and, after a short course, empties into the lake. Above Varenna lies Esino Lario, known as the “pearl of the Grigne” because of its location; from there, you can reach Vezio Castle, the tower of a medieval castle and the former residence of the Lombard queen Teodolinda.

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.
