Agadir is one of Morocco’s great coastal cities, with a busy sailing community and the luxury harbour to go with it. Agadir has plenty of tradition and culture, but it is also a modern, cosmopolitan city on the up. In many ways, it is a world away from the dark souks of Marrakech.Take an Agadir sailing trip and see for yourself…
Agadir lies on the western edge of Morocco’s desert region. It was traditionally a Berber fishing town, and the end of the road for travellers crossing the desert. Agadir’s old town was levelled by an earthquake in 1960, and the city has been rebuilt with modern facilities for all kinds of people. They include a sparkling new marina.
If you’re making a self-crewed trip around the Moroccan coast, Agadir and its marina is a must-do stop off. There, you’ll find easy access to repairs and refuelling, and the more adventurous end of the international sailing community.
If you want to rent a boat or organise a crewed sailing trip in western Morocco, Agadir Marina is the best place to do it. Short trips up and down the coast of western Morocco can be rewarding and adventurous. Visit the legendary fortified town of Essouira, and see the busy port cities of Safi and El Jadida.
The Atlantic Ocean can be a tough place to sail. Anyone crewing themselves through Moroccan waters needs experience and the right training to stay safe. For those that have it, there are some exciting potential journeys to be had. Sail out of the Mediterranean and hug the coast down to Agadir, or make the crossing over the Atlantic to the Canary Islands.
An Agadir sailing trip is about adventure and exploration. With a bit of luxury thrown in. Sailing at its best.
