Having such a magnificent venue has allowed the Charity Cardboard Boat Race to grow year-on-year, until now it has become one of the most popular events on Gibraltar's social calendar. The Marina is the perfect home for the event and Ocean Village are the perfect Hosts.
The huge efforts, preparation and positive attitude of the management team should not be underestimated and we hope that this partnership will go from strength to strength in order to continue providing the community with a fun-packed, safe and wonderful day enjoyed by everyone!
