The second day of the conference will include a visit to three of the best marinas in the Portuguese vibrant nautical market: Vilamoura, Albufeira and Lagos. Following that, attendees will be welcomed to the Gala Dinner which will showcase the local cuisine and culture as well as host the Golden Cleat Award Ceremony which was first introduced during the ICOMIA World Marinas Conference in Dubai and proved a huge success.
