Description

The Port of Filicudi is located in a cove north of Capo Graziano, where a concrete pier 55 meters long and 12 meters wide has been built. The water depth is 9 meters at the pier’s head and 6 meters along its sides.

There are bollards and fenders that allow small boats to moor, providing good shelter from winds from the third quadrant and fair shelter from winds from the second and fourth quadrants. Be careful of the submerged breakwater between the dock and the slipway. Also, the Capo Graziano shoal, which is 1.80 meters deep, is dangerous.

The eastern side of the pier is designated for hydrofoil mooring, in the steel section. The remaining section of the pier can accommodate recreational and fishing boats, provided they do not interfere with scheduled service vessels. The western side accommodates recreational, fishing, and service boats.

The port area has a slipway, water intakes, cranes, electricity, fuel station, storage, and mooring services.

The island of Filicudi has an area of 9.7 km² and is part of the Aeolian archipelago. It belongs to the municipality of Lipari (ME). In ancient times, it was called Phoenicusa, meaning “rich in ferns”—which is actually a dwarf palm tree still found on the island today.

The extinct volcano Fossa Felci (774 meters) is the island’s highest peak. There are seven other extinct volcanoes, all heavily eroded. The population is about 250 residents (3,000 in the summer), spread across the three towns of Filicudi Porto, Pecorini Mare, and Valdichiesa, which are connected by the island’s only paved road. There are many well-branched mule trails.

There is another town, called Stimpagnato, but it is inhabited only in the summer, when tourists are there. The inhabitants of the island are called filicudari. Caper and fig crops support the local economy, although, of course, the main source of income comes from tourism. There aren’t many professional fishermen, but recreational fishing is very popular.

A section of the Aeolian Archaeological Museum is located in Filicudi, where all the artifacts uncovered during the excavations at Capo Graziano—as well as those from other archaeological sites on the Aeolian Islands—have been collected. In fact, the Capo Graziano archaeological site is very important because of what has been discovered there: during the Neolithic period, the island was home to a thriving obsidian industry and craftsmanship, traces of which have been found.

An art biennial is being held in Fossetta. Filicudi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In addition, a regional park has been established in one part of the island.

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.
