Led by the Royal Navy and including vessels from all areas of the maritime industries in Gibraltar the flotilla will be a celebration of the Queen’s reign and of Gibraltar’s proud maritime history.

The event is free to participants and all vessels will receive a specially designed anniversary pennant.

As well as the Flotilla there will be a party for participating crews in Ocean Village on the return as well as live music, a GBC Roadshow and special menus from all the restaurants, including a special Flotilla Breakfast available in O’Reillys for only £6.95 – the perfect thing to fuel you for the day!

Entertainment will run throughout the day on-shore and in the evening there will be dj’s and music at Savannah’s leading up to the lighting of the beacon on top of the Rock at 10.30pm.
