Description

The port of Quercianella is located in the hamlet of the same name in Livorno, Tuscany. It is the southernmost settlement in the municipality of Livorno and is situated on a stretch of coastline that is awarded the Blue Flag every year. The area is stunning, with rocky cliffs plunging into the sea, just a short distance from Castiglioncello, another gem of the Ligurian Sea.

In winter, Quercianella has just over 1,000 residents, but in summer it attracts a sophisticated crowd of tourists who love the crystal-clear sea. Swimming is permitted along the entire coastline; some sections are managed by beach clubs, while others are open to the public. The harbor is managed by the Quercianella Yacht Club, which operates on a reduced schedule in winter and full-time in summer.

The harbor is sheltered by a curved cliff about 150 meters long, and docking is permitted only during the summer and in good weather. When the Libeccio and Ponente winds blow, it is impossible to dock. There are also shoals to the left of the harbor entrance, which are marked during the summer by red floating buoys that delineate a channel 150 meters long and 50 meters wide.

The port of Quercianella is located southeast of the Romito Tower, atop which stands Sonnino Castle—a 19th-century structure built on the site of a 16th-century fortress constructed by the Medici to defend the coast. The Livorno coastline stretches from the Antignano neighborhood to Castiglioncello and is one of the most beautiful and pristine stretches of the Ligurian Sea.

In the summer, the numerous coves are crowded with boats, and the rocks are teeming with swimmers. Quercianella is one of the most elegant hamlets, consisting of villas and small houses scattered throughout the village that slopes down to the sea. The yacht club is located near the marina; to join, you must be sponsored by at least three members and fill out the forms available on the website.

It is prohibited to enter the small marina by sea without prior authorization; however, temporary anchorages at the outer pier are always permitted. There are 80–100 available berths, depending on the size of the vessels, which must not exceed 6 meters.

When the wind is blowing, you should approach the coast by sailing perpendicular to it until you reach the port entrance, which is marked by a red light. Be careful, as there are shoals on the left side of the entrance.

When a strong Libeccio wind blows, it stirs up an annoying surf. The Libeccio and Scirocco winds blow in the winter, while in the summer the Ponente and Maestrale winds blow. The seabed is entirely rocky and reaches a maximum depth of about 1 meter near the coast.

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.
