There are three marinas in Gibraltar. These include Marina Bay, Ocean Village Marina, and Queensway Quay Marina.
Marina Bay is the largest of three marinas in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. The Marina Bay and Ocean Village are positioned just north of Gibraltar Harbour, between the North Mole and the airport runway. Marina Bay and the adjacent Ocean Village Marina together have been incorporated into the Ocean Village Project. Queensway Quay Marina is located within the middle section of the harbour.
Ocean Village & Marina Bay
Set against the breath-taking backdrop of crystal blue Mediterranean waters, Ocean Village Marina and neighbouring Marina Bay are designed to offer everything you could need whilst in port.
Marina Bay can handle yachts with a length of up to 100 metres (330 ft). Each berth at Marina Bay has access to telephone service, as well as metered electricity and fresh water. Other support services for the berths include Wi-Fi, satellite TV, showers, laundry, and concierge service. Petrol and diesel are available duty-free at the fuel quay (wharf) outside the marina.
The majority of Gibraltar's sailing schools are based at Marina Bay.

Queensway
The Queensway Quay Marina is the site of what may be the oldest wharf in Gibraltar, Ragged Staff Wharf.
The marina has 185 berths, including facilities for up to eight 30 metre and two 40 metre vessels. In addition, it has a 75-metre berth, although its ability to accommodate a larger vessel is dependent upon the boat's draft (or draught). Metered water and electricity are available at all berths, and some berths have access to cable television and telephone. The marina also has shower and toilet facilities, as well as access to a laundry service.
Tucked into the rocks western side behind the outer mole Queensway Quay offers one of the most protected berthing options in the Bay of Gibraltar.

In Morocco -
Marina Smir
The north coast of Morocco forms a little-explored landscape of bays and coves framed by a surprisingly green hinterland that shatters the first-time visitor's preconception of Morocco as an arid and desolate country. Set within this scenery of blue Mediterranean waters and green hills covered in wild flowers lays Marina Smir, Morocco's most fashionable marina and resort.
Situated directly on the beach, halfway between Ceuta and Tetouan, and 30 kilometres from Tangiers airport, Marina Smir is approached through unspoiled natural scenery. Just 40 kilometres across the sea from Gibraltar and the Costa del Sol.
Offering easy clearance procedures for visiting yachts, good berthing facilities and excellent value for money, the success of the marina has spurred on the development of the resort, which in turn has given rise to an up-and-coming residential area.
Just thinking about this song:
Let The River Run (The New Jerusalem)
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
Thinking it might not hurt to know about the area.
And then there's this - About The New Jerusalem.
