Logistics & Technical

The bay offers a secure anchorage with depths typically ranging from 10 to 25 meters, gradually shelving towards the shore. The seabed is predominantly a composition of thick seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) and sand patches, requiring precise anchor placement to ensure a firm hold. It provides excellent protection against N and NW winds, though it remains slightly exposed to SE swells. Stern-to mooring with long lines to the shore is the standard maneuver due to the steep bathymetry.
