Navigation regulations
- Check that the emergency key is engaged and the gear is in neutral, before starting the engine.
- Within the port, one proceeds at minimum speed.
- The approach to the coast is permitted up to a distance of 200 metres from the beaches and 100 metres from the remaining areas (cliffs and steep coastlines).
It is strictly forbidden to take the dinghy onto the beaches. - The approach to the beach is only permitted through the landing lanes.
- Mooring within them is prohibited, use of the lanes is only permitted for disembarking and embarking.
- Pay attention to the map provided and the explanation during the check, near the marked shoals reduce speed.
- Always drop the anchor from the bow and against the wind, making sure you have given enough line to allow a good grip.
- Priority must be given to boats coming from the right. Sailboats, canoes, pedal boats always have the right of way.
- Always check the fuel level and calculate the hourly consumption.
- Remember that there may be some water residue in the lockers that can damage the stowed material.
- Do not lean out unseen, especially if you are inexperienced, check that passengers and especially children are well seated.
- Comply with the number of places required by law in the boat and avoid overloading.
- Respect for nature - Respect for nature should not even appear on the list: the yachtsman goes in search of beauty and a clean sea.
- Education and common sense - Don't anchor too close to other boats, don't annoy your neighbours with a running engine, noise, radio, etc.
- Any doubts, in dangerous situations, do not hesitate! Drop anchor first, secure your crew and call our number or 1530 of the Coast Guard.
