Safi : Profile

Location

Safi is a nice, clean city with a fascinating medina. Although there are no facilities for yachts, spares for fishing boats are available.

Safi is a large commercial port and fishing harbour. Port control (CH 16) maintains 24 hour radio watch and will direct yachts where to berth for clearance. Customs, police and immigration will come to the yacht; formalities are reported to be straightforward.

Although there is a controlled port gate, entrance is widely granted as people go to the fishing port.

Docking

Safi has no marina, no facilities (water or electrics), but berthing in the main port costs little. Be warned that the officials and harbour personnel will ask for baksheesh. If you leave your yacht here, you will need to pay someone to look after the yacht as you might have to move when a cargo ship arrives. Harbour fees are calculated by the ton by the port authorities and payable on departure.
