Description

The port of Levanzo cannot be defined or classified as a typical Italian port, either in terms of its structure or the maritime character it projects. In fact, among the ports and anchorages that define the maritime life of the boats sailing the waters of the Egadi Islands, it stands out as one of the most charming places to dock—and not necessarily for its practicality.

The port is located on the island’s southern coast, essentially carved out of a cove called Cala Dogana. Its layout is very simple and modest compared to the architecture of an average Italian port. In fact, it consists of an 80-meter L-shaped pier and two docks. One dock is adjacent to the pier, and the second is dedicated to hydrofoils.

Obviously, this modest structure of his allows him to accommodate mainly small fishing boats, hydrofoils and some boats of daredevil coastal sailors, who can find in the port of Levanzo a safe haven from the northern winds.

Despite its modesty, the unique beauty this port has to offer should not be underestimated. For enthusiasts of boats, sailing, and life at sea, being able to dock in a small port right in the middle of the island—one that offers both shelter and beauty—can be a pleasant surprise during the trip.

The stretch of coastline overlooking the town is truly enchanting; it unfolds between the pier and the last hydrofoil dock. The postcard-perfect view features a small, particularly rocky village with a few modest, sheltered coves where boats are often beached. A stroll through such scenery can’t help but make you feel closer to Hemingway’s *The Old Man and the Sea*.

As a result, the port offers very few mooring options. There are a maximum of 15 berths, and the rocky and sandy seabed does not exceed a depth of 6 meters. The port services provided by the facility are limited. The only services guaranteed are equipment for boarding and disembarking, emergency assistance, rescue, and pilotage. Boats’ access to the port is often assisted by on-site staff or by other boaters who use the facility.

This need for help, especially for local outsiders, is especially apparent on the most dangerous sailing days, when the typical libeccio and scirocco winds that often caress the island’s coastline blow.

The port of Levanzo, often overlooked among the island’s anchorages, is in fact a small harbor that, with its basic amenities, can provide shelter and a place to stop for passing boats, while offering a pleasant view of a stretch of coastline that is both charming and worth exploring.

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.
