Where can visiting yachts berth in Gibraltar?

Question

Accepted Answer

Visiting yachts must berth in a marina, as there are no anchorages in Gibraltar. The marinas are Ocean Village and Marina Bay, which share a pier and office near the runway, and Queensway Quay on the western waterfront; space is scarce in high season, so book ahead.
Gibraltar has one port and all visiting boats are required to berth in a marina. Anchoring off the Rock is not an option for visiting yachts.
The marinas:
Ocean Village and Marina Bay: on the same pier with one marina office, close to the airport runway and the frontier. Ocean Village was developed to take larger yachts, including superyachts, while Marina Bay continues to cater for smaller vessels. Bars and restaurants in Ocean Village are a short walk away.
Queensway Quay: closer to the town centre, with a quieter, more residential feel and a quay lined with restaurants. It has historically offered around 185 berths for boats up to 75 metres.
Alcaidesa Marina in La Línea, on the Spanish side of the runway, is the nearest alternative if Gibraltar's marinas are full.
Before you arrive:
Berths, particularly for boats over about 12 metres, can be hard to find in high season, so contact the marina and book before arrival.
Yachts are asked to complete an online pre-arrival notification for HM Customs Gibraltar.
Arrival formalities are dealt with at the marina, and there have been no clearance fees.
Under the 2026 UK/EU Treaty arrangements, Schengen entry checks apply at Gibraltar's external borders, including the port, so confirm the current immigration procedure for your crew's nationalities before sailing in.
On arrival:
Water and electricity are available at berths for a charge.
Gibraltar has chandleries including Sheppard's, and many yachts use the Cepsa fuel dock before leaving.
Fly the Gibraltar courtesy ensign while in port.
