Im thinking about buying a boat in Gib to use as holiday home??

Hi D-O-C

Berthing in Gib is limited and fairly expensive.

If you indicate size / type of boat are you considering then I may be able to give you more information.

Take a look at:- http://www.marinabay.gi/

or

http://www.alcaidesamarina.com/seccion/en/webcam/104/

which is just across the border in Spain, however please note the political situation between Spain and Gib at the moment

Hi Grumpy
thanks for the info, we are contemplating buying a cabin cruiser with at least 4 berths for me my wife & 12 year old daughter our budget is around £20k.
(not sure if its worth shipping one to Gib or buying one there? benefits of taxes etc)
our idea is to use the boat as a holiday home something where we can just go to when we have burned ourselves out at work.

Do you know if it would be possible to have the boat dry stored and when we plan to come over to use it email someone to have it dropped in the water at a rented birth?

or would it be better to buy or rent a mooring?

Thanks again enjoy the sunshine.

Hi D-O-C

There are no dry storage facilities in Gib and I beleive non in the Alcaidesa marina.

Again it is not possible to buy a berth in Gib or Alcaidesa with one rather expensive exception.

Take a look at this link for some of the boats available in this area

Boats shipped into Gib are liable to a 12% import duty, but as a non-resident you will probably be able to avoid this.

The weather here is generally better than anywhere north of the Tyne
