Algeria Facts for Sailors

  • Algeria has over 1126 kilometres (700 miles) of Mediterranean coastline, behind which lie mountains and fertile plains, with the vast Sahara desert to the south. Along with its entire length, the Algerian coast has no indentations and all the ports are man-made as there are no natural harbors.
  • With very few exceptions, the ports are crowded and polluted, which is the main reason why cruising yachts very seldom go out of their way to stop in Algeria. The one notable exception is Sidi Fredj, west of the capital Algiers, where a tourist development surrounds the harbour, part of which has been converted into a marina.
  • Algeria has suffered many years of bloody conflict between government forces and fundamentalists and while visits by cruising yachts cannot be recommended, yachts having to stop in an emergency have reported very friendly and helpful officials.
  • If planning a passage that passes close to Algeria, the best advice is to stand well outside 12NM off the Algerian coast unless visas, and boat permissions, have already been negotiated.
