Agadir : Profile

Location

A useful port on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, being just 220 NM from the Canaries. There is good provisioning in town.

Clearance

Entry procedures here may not be as good as at Rabat. Contact Port Control on VHF Channel 16 when 6 miles off and ask permission to come alongside the commercial dock for clearance.

Officials will visit the boat and the ship's papers may be retained during the yacht's stay in port. Similarly, the port police will retain passports and issue special passes for access through the harbour gates.

Papers must be originals and not copies.

Last updated November 2008.

Docking

The new marina here is now open, although facilities are limited. The entrance is towards the bathing beach, NOT through the main harbour. Staff are aware of Mediterranean marina prices and therefore costs are high for Morocco.

Alternatively, boats can anchor off the yacht club in the NE of the Grand Bassin, which welcomes visitors. The dinghy can be left at the yacht club pontoon. Water can be obtained at the same dock, which has sufficient depth at high tide. Unfortunately, the harbour tends to be very dirty and polluted.
