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?

I have enjoyed using your harbour guide and I have to say you have some of the best restaurants and hotels in Gibraltar on your guide. So much so that I felt i had to comment to let you know.
A very easy informative website to use for us (not so young) internet users.
Thank You

SEAWAVE BAR GIBRALTAR
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.
13/02/2015 @ 6:19 am
P.S.
The Ocean Restaurant is the newest addition to Gib's restaurants, and is mainly fish with a touch of italian.
Just opposite the bus station on the inside wall(goes all the way through to the street with a big glass extension)

Still waiting for The Ocean restaurant to open!!

Popped in the Tunnel in Casemates Square and noticed one of the staff eating something that I had not seen on the menu, consisted of pasta, bacon, spinach and prawns with shredded cheese on the side.
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.

Ate at the famous Gatsby's sunday night and had the roast beef with all the trimmings, just like xmas again.
Delicious and massive portions.

Put my mum in Aphrodite beauty place in the marina last time we were over there, and she was over the moon when she came out.
Let's just say she has been converted.

Favourite eating places, Case Pepe, and The Landings.

Noticed an earlier comment/question about Gatsby's being a goo place for Sunday Lunch, yes it is one of if not the best places on Gib for Sundays.
You will not be disappointed.

Enjoying every minute here, just left Taps and my lovely wife has decided she wants to go back to hotel to watch X-FACTOR without me chirping in, been told I can do what I want.!!
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.

Ventured out of Marina and got as far as Gatsbys, what a brill place, looks can be deceiving.
See for yourself next time you are wandering around the Marina.

We tried Landings restaurant and Gauchos last week whilst staying over a few nights last week, upon reflection preffered Landings out of the two for value and service.
Landings is a little bit out of main area, but would say give it a go if only staying one night.

We decided to clamber over the rocks to the opposite side of Gib and ended up at a place called Seawave right on the beach( is featured on the food and drink section on this site) what a delightful little place with excellent views and right on beach.
Worth looking at but you can get bus also takes about 10 minutes and are quite frequent.

Gache opticians did a good job of sorting me out new specs after I trod on mine whilst visiting a friends boat.
They flew out of my shirt pocket ahead of me as I jumped onto the boat.

Thanks Harbour Guides, you saved the day again.
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.

Taps Bar in the Marina is different in that I found you can pay for beer like petrol, as they load it into your pump at table and pour your own without having to keep going to the Bar!!

Cpt Greyson and crew.
Just enjoyed a leisurely 10 day jaunt in Gibraltar..Our main aim was to stop off and fuel up and head off to Sitges Spain. However due to maintenance problems we stayed a lot longer and now I have to say everything happens for a reason. We now love the place. We stayed at Marina Bay marina, no where near as expensive as some people had made out. We tried nearly ALL of the restaurants and bars you have on your guide, all while the excellent "Marine Maintenance Ltd" sorted out our engine problems. All in all we were all sad to leave, even miss picking up the paper from Albor in the morning.
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

Sailed into Gib last week and found your site whilst googling Marine services. What a great idea.Love the restaurant section (we have tried Landings, The Lord Nelson, and Gatsbys up to now and loved them) and will be trying some more before we head into the Med.
Would like to say a big big thank-you to Marine Maintenance for sorting out our engine probs.
Well done lads!

Hi
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.

Wannabe Sailor Family
Hi
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

Ok its us again.of all the restaurants we ate at on your guide we can not say a bad word about any of them, but if i was pushed to reccomend a best restaurant to someone i would have to say Gatsbys, closely followed by Gauchous..having said that its unfair on the other restaurants and bars that are on here, and as i am writing this the rest of the crew are arguing with me saying they prefer such a restaurant etc etc so on behalf of the Phillips crew..just try em they all great
bye bye

Just come back from Gibraltar and found your "Harbour guide" very useful and informative,as i have used many of the businesses etc featured on your site and have been happy with the standard of service they have provided.However i have to take issue on your Gibraltar information write-up regarding the i quote "Gibraltar wonderful beeches" statement??? What wonderful beeches??? OK they have beeches there and yes its a fabulous place to visit..But come on "Wonderful beeches is not one of its best assets.
OK rant over..other than that i have loved using this guide and will tell all!!

Hi.
I am a canadian sailor spending my holidays in Marbella. I am looking for any boat heading to Mallorca or Valencia to work as cook or crew. I am even willing to pay.
Please let me know if there is any boat planning to go to these destinations soon. My cel here is 656633792
We love to get away from the tourist traps when sailing, This place tics all the boxes for us, full of locals very few tourists, great find for Harbourguides!
Fantastic to come here again. Byron never changes, always makes you feel welcome. Just wish there was a marina near by. Dont let that put us yachtys off. Well worth the short journey to Catalan Bay, Kick in, relax, and have a nice meal.
Didnt even know this marina was here until we saw your feature here. Great to get away from normal Gib (Nothing wrong with normal Gib) great change, we are looking into booking a berth here for next July
Oh by the way, the food here is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this place, Lots of Gibraltars history can be found here, the owner (Dont know his name) is extremely knowledgeable on Gibraltars history, especially Irish Town. Very interesting. Thers so much more to Gibraltar than the marina scene, and this comes from a yachty!!
Well this is something slightly different. Theres a wine bar/restaurant where you can obviously try a great selection of wines, plus a restaurant. Not sure which one I am commenting on but both are good, so going to put this post on both places.

If fish and chips is your thing, then look no further. Loads of room to sit outside in the sun or shaded. Right in the square, so great to watch the hustle and bustle while tucking into some good old English favourite of Fish and Chips
Lovely place away from most of the tourists. You can watch your food being cooked on the big griddle. Or sit outside and soak up the sun watching the world go by.
Wow what doesnt this place sell? from snacks, salads, full on meals, jams, art pictures, and more. You certainly wont be bored visiting here. Always seems busy with nice clientele.
Lovely place to sit and have a nice meal and drink. We only came here during the day and it was so tranquil watching people on thier boats pottering about. We didnt get chance to come in the evening, but we ill on our next visit
Annette made us very welcome on our two visits. Love the Irish Town and its bars, restaurants cafes and shops. A lot better value for money than Ocean Village.
Great place to have a bite to eat and a few beers and wine. Its virtually on the beach and the weather is always better than around the marina. Get the number 4 or number 8 bus, its easy to get to and back.
Well this place has everything. If you want a snack they got it, if you want a full on meal, they got that too, if you want fine wines, yeah they have them too. All in all Sacarellos caters for pretty much everything and all to a very high standard.
This is a great find. If you want to get away from the tourist restaurants and bars this is the place for you. Mostly locals eating here and it does get busy, but has a great vibe about it. We loved it.
Best restaurant in Ocean Village, we had read the reviews so was expecting it to be good, but it was even better. If you're into fine food you have got to try El Faro
Took Ben's advice and came to the Seawave at Catalan Bay, complete contrast to all the materialistic stuff that goes on around the marina. We got the number 8 bus to it and walked back. We had a great day and lovely food. We will be returning.
Stayed here for two nights as my partner wanted a bit of luxury after being on the boat for 10 days. Wish we could have stayed longer, the place is so relaxing. Was very difficult to get Jackie back on the boat.
Just nipped in for a meal and drink. Asked if I could charge my phone up and was told that they don't allow it in case of " Electric changes that could brake the phone" I did explain that I was willing to take the risk and would not hold them responsible, however they declined. I walked over to Cafe Rojo, who couldn't be more helpful, the food there was also fantastic. Such a shame that The Clipper were so un helpful.
Just called in for lunch and chose one of the various salads available. It was delicious. I will be back to try some of the other dishes that are on their menu.
Get to Irish Town and this place, you will not be dissapointed.
Lovely restaurant. I was told that the fish was the best choice of food here, so this is what I chose and it was delightful. My husband doesnt eat fish so had the veal. He cleared his plate also. All in all a very pleasant experience.
Well worth the trip up here on the cable car. The views take your breath away. But make sure the monkeys dont take any of your stuff away. I now know where the expression Cheeky Monkey comes from.
I think this is where we started our big night out. If I remember correctly there was special offers on cocktails. Great start to the evening, but take it easy on those cocktails, they come back to haunt you later lol x
If you like seafood, you will love this plaice (ha deliberate misspell) on a a serious note, we had one of the best meals of our holiday here. lovely ambience and at tentative staff.
Not really one to write reviews, but when we spotted this on your guide, we remembered using this company in the past. They were very helpful and extremely informative. So thanks.
we found this one on Harbourguides mobile location finder.We could have easily missed it, but as one of the previous visitors commented, we are delighted that we found it. Service, food, atmosphere all fantastic. Well worth a visit.
Loved the walk here from the marina. was good to get out of the marina and eat and drink somewhere else. It was a lovely afternoon and an experience we shall repeat.
To sum it up, it was a great day.
We almost walked past this place, but we are really glad we didnt. the menu was slightly different to what we normally go for, but we both really enjoyed it. We both thought that it was good value for money.
A real lively bar that seems popular with the locals as well as visitors. Great place to strike up a conversation, if you are in the mood, or also good to watch the world go by.
We really liked this place
We really enjoyed our meal here. We went in at lunchtime and the menu had something for all different tastes. The service was good and the staff friendly. The food was delicious.
Well worth a visit
Great lively pub. Always seems to be one of the busier bars in the area. TV screens show sports events so this seems to attract people. All in all a pleasant place to have a drink.
Visited the Seawave after seeing it here, and agree entirely with the comments above. The staff go out of their way to be helpful and the clientele are friendly and chatty.
The food is also extremely good.
I would give it 10 out of 10 and will be returning next summer
Thanks
Sherry
You cant come to Gibraltar without using this service. Its a great trip, with a nice little cafe at the top. when wandering around make sure you dont leave any bags open with food in, as the monkeys will have them! Great fun!
What a great find, unusual gifts and lots of great ideas for presents to take home. Could have spent a lot more time and money in there, and now wish we had.
We ate here a couple of years ago and the fish was fantastic. We are now planning our sailing trip around the Channel Islands and came across this website. Great to bring back old memories and plan our visit.
We are coming back over in August (Sailing Annabel)My parents wont be staying on the boat. Can you send me some prices for the first two weeks in August ? one double room, B&B only.
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 smile.
Great value for money. Our inlaws stayed here as they didnt want to stay on the boat (We were delighted). Made the stay a great one and helped us enormousley.
Can definitely recommend.
The fish I ate here was called " King Glish Fish " and was delicious.
From what I was told it is a large pink carp, but is very famous in Spain(even though we are in Gibraltar) and this is just about the only Spanish restaurant here and gets the thumbs up.
Good food, drinks and most importantly service.
I am staying in La Linea and saw Bianca's on the harbourguides website and came across to check it out. Very happy.
Gambas Pil Pil followed by Beef Tagine was the order of the day on last sunday's horrendous washout.
Was coming over from La Linea for Sunday Lunch, but due to fake bomb scare arrived late.
Was quite happy in the end though because these dishes complemented each other and were delicious.
This shop has been around for hundreds of years ( well the family has ) but if you do not find what you are looking for be it kitchen or general bits and bobs, there is something wrong as it is like an alladins cave.
Tried this place the other night, very good food and price.
Had strip of steak wrapped around onions and tomatoes with split baked seasoned potatoe, delicious and was only £3.50.
have stayed many times its a quiet street no traffic & I love the patio garden its unexpected in the town center, good value for money with good breakfast will stay again .
Great nights sleep and a good breakfast, nice that they have a bar also.
We stayed here a few weeks ago and are just summarising the good places we can remember from our visit.

Please contact me at pmarquez@resolvemarine.com and/or 1-954-764-8700.
Purchased my 10.1 Samsung tablet here about 2 years ago, still going strong and have passed it up to my DAD.
So treated myself to the latest version last week and am delighted.
Oh nearly forgot, the people in this shop will bend over backwards to assist you in anyway they can.
This place is fantastic, spoilt for choice when you have a decision to make where there is a choice, if that makes sense.
Check it out, you will see what I mean.
First time to Gib, found this on Harbourguides and it was not what we expected.
Very old fashioned decor, but we loved it and food was out of this world.
Spent a few lovely nights in Gibraltar last month and was pleasantly surprised to find this jewel on the Rock. They even delivered a few cases a my favourite bubbly to my berth for free.
A very easy informative website to use for us (not so young) internet users.
Thank You

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)

#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!!
