MALAGA, SPAIN, July 18, 2009 /Boating PR News/ -- August 19th to 23rd sees the staging of Gibraltar's inaugural Ocean Festival. Drawing inspiration from the world-renowned Cowes Week, but in the guaranteed sunshine of the Rock's new Ocean Village marina, Gibraltar Ocean Festival is packed with music, partying, poker and even a Day Rally to Morocco. Yacht owners will not want to miss out.
Brian Stevendale, Sales & Marketing Director for Ocean Village, explains, "Ocean Village lends itself perfectly to the Gibraltar Ocean Festival as the marina is modern, stylish, compact, thronging with bars and restaurants and also home to the Rock's only casino. Furthermore it couldn't be more strategically located. Morocco's Marina Smir, the destination for our Day Rally, is just 25 miles south of Gibraltar yet offers an authentic North African experience. This Ocean Festival will bring a fantastic atmosphere to the waterfront venue and show that Gibraltar is the 'in' place to be this summer - and for many more summers to come."
In conjunction with SG Hambros Private Banking, the Gibraltar Ocean Festival kicks off on Wednesday 19 August with a champagne reception held by the sponsors. Classical music with a pianist and orchestra will provide a sophisticated ambience for the evening. Thursday is the Day Rally to Morocco with SG Hambros providing the traditional Moroccan lunch in Smir. Later on, back on the Rock, a charity fashion show will sashay down the catwalk on Ocean Village's Leisure Island. Friday offers free time, a seminar on Gibraltar's unique appeal and a funky summer charity party with live music til late. Saturday brings a Yacht Poker Run - Gibraltar style - and a rock party featuring local bands will round off the festival with panache. Yacht owners can leave at their leisure on Sunday.
Davina Palermo from SG Hambros in Gibraltar is keen to support the event, "With our strong connections with the marine sector and an increasing commitment to charitable causes, we are very happy to be supporting the Gibraltar Ocean Festival and welcome new and old visitors to the Rock."
Packages are available from just GBP430 (516 euros) for a yacht up to 12 metres to include berthing for the duration of the Gibraltar Ocean Festival, two tickets for each of the classical concert, charity fashion show, summer party and rock party. This fee also covers lunch in Morocco and entrance for the Yacht Poker Run.
