Boat Trips & Fishing

Long before the beach hotels, Agadir was a harbour town. Its port is still one of Morocco's great fishing ports, once famous for sardines. A boat trip takes you out from the Marina onto the open Atlantic, with the kasbah hill and the long sweep of the bay behind you — and, where offered, a line in the water for anyone who wants to try fishing.

Highlights

• From the Marina — departures from Agadir Marina, beside cafés and Moorish-style arcades.
• The bay from the sea — the beach, the city and the Agadir Oufella hill seen from the water.
• Fishing where offered — try your luck with simple line fishing on trips that include it.
• Atlantic light — calm mornings or golden afternoons, depending on the sea.

What to expect

Boat trips usually leave the Marina, cruise along the coast, and pause for swimming or fishing when conditions and the trip allow. What is on board, and whether fishing is included, depends on the boat — we will tell you exactly what is offered when you write.

The Atlantic can be lively. Trips depend on the weather and sea conditions, and may be changed or postponed for safety.

Where it is

Agadir Marina sits between the city beach and the commercial and fishing port, beneath the kasbah hill. From the water you can follow the coast north towards Aourir and Taghazout or look south along the bay.
