Information
GIBRALTAR
Situated at the gateway to the Mediterranean, Gibraltar enjoys a delightful sub-tropical climate and boasts some of the best marine based activities in the world. The city’s three marinas are regarded as being amongst the finest in Europe, offering plentiful berthing, excellent marine services and much more. Queensway Quay, located right in the centre of town, is a British naval base, it is also a popular place to dine and drink with numerous bars and restaurants situated around the harbour sides. Marina Bay offers 24hr service and has over 200 berths with state-of-the-art computerised TV and satellite facilities. The tranquil, yet tidal conditions of the harbour make Gibraltar a favourite destination for yachtsmen seeking to attain sailing qualifications and the various schools offer courses ranging from Competent Crew to the most advanced RYA certificates.
Besides the excellent weather, gorgeous scenery and wonderful beaches Gibraltar’s biggest attraction is it’s duty free/VAT status and the area around Main Street is a paradise for those addicted to retail therapy. Here you can buy up-market clothing, jewellery, leather goods and perfumes at truly affordable prices. Casemates Square at the end of Main Street was once a place of public executions but today it is the liveliest place in town, filled with trendy outdoor restaurants, stylish cafes and busy bars. The city has entertainment to suit all, from theatre to cinema, casino to dance club, but don’t expect any early nights.
Gibraltar really does have it all. A vibrant and stunning centre steeped in history; some of the best water sports, diving and fishing to be found in the Europe; nightlife second to none; scenery to die for; prices that are definitely right and a friendly ambience it would be difficult to match anywhere else in the world. Is it any wonder that visitors to this most beautiful of cities return time after time?

Good to hear that you guys are over here. There are a few businesses that need removing as they have now closed. I have sent an email with them on.
Good Luck!
I have recently moved my boat "Nakita" into Ocean Village Marina and realy enjoying it. I am also finding using this guide very helpful for all kinds of things. I am going to leave honest reviews on the businesses I use whilst i'm here.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Who takes the 360 photos on your guide, including the one's from a drone? We would like a 360 tour of our boat including a drone photo an prices please.
Thanks, we found your guide really helpful and have left some reviews for other people to see when they visit. It was our first trip to Gibraltar and this really helped.
We are no experts on the tax laws betwean Spain and Gibraltar, but this does sound very unfair. Maybe look at the Government website where they be able to advise you better. Hope the wedding goes well.
Wehave been completely honest in our reviews and hope future users find them helpful.
Gibraltar is buzzing. What an atmosphere and what a setting. Great experience for the young fighters and those making their debuts. And a solid victory for Dillian will top the night off!
Hi Laurence, Biancas Bar & Restaurant doesn't take bookings or reply to comments on here. Its more of a review section. But if you contact them direct on this link https://www.harbourguides.com/bluepages/view/biancas-bar--restaurant-3909#commentnumber7453 they will sort everything for you.
Thanks and good luck in the boxing

Biancas Bar & Restaurant Gibraltar
Coming over as part of a boxing team. do you take table bookings? and if so, what is the limit? ie per table and total numbers. The date will be 28th March.
it’s difficult to guarantee or rule out anything at the moment. Things change every day. Let’s just hope the fight goes ahead and if we can’t attend, then its Sky Box Office or DAZN. Either way its going to be a great night!

Whyte V Povetkin Gibraltar Boxing
With the new government guidelines that were released yeasterday, I think its still not possible to travel to gibraltar from UK unless you have official work etc,
Hi Si Z
Again, we are not qualified to answer. Travel restrictions are changing all the time. The fight is only four or five weeks away, so I think there will have to be some extreme changes before this is possible. But keep positive

There's a tiny take-away place in Parliament Lane called MALAK BAGUETTE which does extraordinarily good-value filled baguettes.They cook the fillings to order (Moroccan chicken, Chicken Tikka, all kinds) and charge just £2.80. There's a few scruffy tables outside or you can take away. One of these will fill you for the day, and they're super-fresh. Its about ten mins walk from Marina Bay, through the arches onto Casemates Sq, cross the square onto Main Street and Parliament Lane is the first on the right. Highly recommended. I often bring a couple back to the boat.
I entirely disagree with the suggestion in the notes that Gibraltar's main attraction is its duty free status. Yes, it may be for booze and fags, but certainly not for the kind of electronics and techno stuff that you might hope to score a big hit on in the high street. I've been coming to the Rock for 40 years and there's not a single item, whether its cameras, hi-fi, clothes, watches etc that you cant get cheaper in the UK, either in supermarkets or on-line. I dont know why this is, but its a fact. It may be that the traders, mostly Asian-run businesses, pocket the VAT difference and simply dine out of the duty free reputation. So do NOT come to Gib for bargains. Come for the history, the ok priced marinas, the excellent sail training and the reasonably straight-forward bureaucracy.
A very easy informative website to use for us (not so young) internet users.
Thank You

I would highly recommend the seawave bar on Catalan bay, the staff are always friendly and will always remember a face, the owners of the bar Marilyn and Byron are great people and will always make sure your visit to the bar is a happy one!!! The food is great, and the locals will always speak to you and make you feel even more welcome, this is our home from home where we have spent many happy evenings. If you visit Gibraltar be sure to visit the seawave and find out for yourselves. You will not be disappointed.
Just opposite the bus station on the inside wall(goes all the way through to the street with a big glass extension)
Persuaded them to make it for me and was absolutely delicious.
Going to see if it is possible to have it put on the menu, watch this space.
Delicious and massive portions.
26th JAN - Thur FEB 5th 2015, so be warned if searching for last minute stay.
Let's just say she has been converted.
Favourite eating places, Case Pepe, and The Landings.
You will not be disappointed.
Could be a trap but who cares, the night is young and I am let off the leash without asking.
Great site, and it was her brother who told us to have a look when we told him we were passing through.
Cheers.
See for yourself next time you are wandering around the Marina.
Landings is a little bit out of main area, but would say give it a go if only staying one night.
Maybe small but full of goodies all being the latest.
Good breakfast and cosy bar also.
Worth looking at but you can get bus also takes about 10 minutes and are quite frequent.
They flew out of my shirt pocket ahead of me as I jumped onto the boat.

Casa Pepe in the Marina nearest Rock Hotel was one of the best places we ate at, have a look for it.
Arrived late in Gib and found Cannon Hotel on your site, and saved the day as I was having a problem finding anywhere to stay, nice and handy for everything and great prices.
Cheers
Try asking the same question on our chat forum. You are more likely to get a response to this sort of enquiry.
Good luck

Look no further.
Excellent.
Lived here 3 years.
So if you are passing Gib and are thinking to fuel up and head off as we did, why not hang around for a few days? We did and loved it.
Well done with the harbour guides guys! Great service for us yachty's
Would like to say a big big thank-you to Marine Maintenance for sorting out our engine probs.
Well done lads!
In reply to the "Wannabe Sailor Family" we are currently in Gibraltar and will have a reputable charter and sailing school featured here in the next few days.
Hope you and your family really enjoy your sailing and that it does indeed become an important part of your lives.
having visited Gibraltar this summer for our annual holiday, we are considering coming again next year. However we are very interested in completing a sailing course or courses as, i am considering buying a yacht that we can use as a family holiday base in the near future and would like all the family to be fairly competent.
There are many "Sailing Schools" in Gibraltar but have noticed that you do not promote any of them on your website..Is this due to the fact they dont advertise with you or is it that you do not endorse any of them?
We dont want to make the wrong decision on what could become a very important part of our lives as a family.
Would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks
bye bye
OK rant over..other than that i have loved using this guide and will tell all!!
#2 - Marty: Con Dias (I have never heard of it)
#6 - Adam king: The Continental (I think had a fire and closed if it was the one on Eastern Beach) caheck out www.gibyellow.gi for alternatives
#11 - owoflow: Allabroad Sailing Academy http://www.sailing.gi/ ask for John I think it is
I can also recommend http://www.worldmarineservice.com in Queensway Quay for shipping/large yacht related matters
We are due in Gibraltar sometime in October to update.One of the categories of businesses we will be including will be Sailing schools and Charter companies, so you will be able to do the courses with these.
Good luck!!
