Description

The port of Margherita di Savoia is best described as a small marina. This is because its primary function does not involve the features or purposes of a typical marina, a seaside resort, or—much less—an industrial port. The facility serves primarily as a fishing port. Its appearance is distinctive and charming, lending the coastal landscape a character reminiscent of sailors and seafarers.

In fact, the Province of Foggia is often known for its beach life, thanks in part to the famous town of Manfredonia, which is very close by. The port consists of two very long piers, which, however, are not suitable for docking. The other two smaller piers, which protect the entrance to the dock—reserved specifically for fishing boats—are suitable for docking.

After a history that has always been very eventful, the marina is now able to provide more than 200 berths for boats up to 10 meters in length. The marina’s facilities are all designed to meet the needs of fishing vessels, and it offers a wide range of services, including water, electricity, a slipway, a dry dock, a crane, restrooms, and engine and electrical repair services.

In addition, the marina features nautical facilities and a fuel tanker within the basin where recreational boats can dock. These facilities and other dedicated services are operated under concession by the Margherita di Savoia Nautical Center and Sport Nautica BIemme.

Among Apulia’s ports, this small marina is considered an excellent port of call for experienced sailors and fishing boats. In fact, many vessels—including those coming from Porto del Gargano—often manage to find a secondary mooring spot along the Manfredonia route without losing too much time at sea. It should also be noted, however, that Margherita di Savoia also boasts Marina Cala delle Sirene, located nearby, providing the Province of Foggia with excellent services in the immediate vicinity as well.

The marina at Margherita di Savoia is, however, intended for experienced sailors. In fact, special care must be taken when entering the basin between the two piers. The sandy seabed is often subject to rip currents at low tide, and winds from the north are very dangerous. Therefore, when docking, it is best not to proceed or to do so with caution when the sea is rough and the wind is blowing broadside.

The port of Margherita di Savoia may therefore be referred to as a small marina, but its characteristics reveal a highly functional identity with a strong character. It lends this town in the Province of Puglia a solid reputation among local fishing vessels and recreational boats that frequently travel the stretch of sea between Manfredonia and Foggia.

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.
