Description

Favignana is the largest and most important island in the Egadi archipelago. It is crossed from north to south by a ridge of hills known as Montagna Grossa and has two landing points: Cala Principale and Punta Longa.

Cala Principale is circular in shape, opening to the north and northwest. A breakwater extends northwestward from the eastern end of the cove. This breakwater, which is currently undergoing work to extend it, has a quay on the inner side and is used for ferry docking.

The S. Leonardo Pier extends southward from the breakwater pier and is currently undergoing work to reinforce the quay. The Main Pier, on the other hand, extends from the quay at Piazza Marina and is used to accommodate recreational boats. At the end of the cove, there is a beach.

The harbor at Cala Principale features a mixed sandy-rocky seabed with seaweed. Please note that the water is shallow—about 3 meters deep—near the fuel pump on the pier. There are 100 berths available, 30 of which are reserved exclusively for vessels in transit.

The southern end of the S. Leonardo Pier offers berths for vessels between 15 and 60 meters in length with a maximum draft of 5.5 meters. These berths are managed by Ormeggiatori Isole Egadi.

The commercial dock allows mooring, from 7:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m., for vessels with a maximum length of 70 meters and a draft not exceeding 6 meters. Thirty berths are reserved for vessels up to 20 meters in length and 4 meters in width.

The west side of the inner pier is reserved for vessels longer than 7.5 meters. The Piazzale Marina dock, on the other hand, can accommodate vessels up to 7.5 meters in length.

The moorings are managed by La Darsena di Gigi and the Marina di Favignana.

The period from April 1 to July 15 is the tuna fishing period: during these months, the stretch of water is reserved for tuna trap units, and it is advisable to pay close attention to the tuna trap’s markings in the vicinity of the Piazzale Marina.

There is a gas station on the dock. It sells gasoline and diesel and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Some berths are exclusively reserved for state agencies while others, marked with yellow stripes, are left free for emergency situations and for boat renters.

There are many services available. Drinking water and electrical outlets are provided; there is also a slipway, a mobile crane, and a boat hoist, as well as the option of outdoor boat storage.

Engine repairs, electrical and electronic repairs, sail repairs, and wood and fiberglass hull repairs are carried out.

A pilot service is available. Divers and mooring attendants are always on hand, and security is provided by a security patrol. Boaters can use the showers and restrooms, as well as the trash collection service and phone booths.

Car parking is available. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and ice vendors nearby.

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.
