A Closer Look at the Itinerary
Starting with Convenience: Pickup & Departure
The trip kicks off with hotel pickup, saving you the hassle of organizing transport. Most travelers find this convenient, especially since the tour begins at 9:00 AM from the marina. Once onboard, you’re greeted with Moroccan tea—an inviting touch that immediately sets a relaxed tone.
The Coastline Views: A Picturesque Journey
Sailing out from the marina, you’ll cruise along the coastline, soaking in stunning views of Agadir and its surrounding landscape. The waters are described as a bright, inviting blue, and from the boat, you get a different perspective on the city—showcasing its rugged cliffs and sandy beaches.
One reviewer appreciated the gentle sailing, noting that the boat went out just a few miles, still offering a good visual of the coast. You won’t be venturing into deep-sea territory, but enough to get a sense of the area’s natural beauty.
Fishing Experience: Fun and Relaxing
Next, the crew provides fishing equipment, inviting guests to try their luck. While some reviewers noted that catching fish wasn’t guaranteed—others found it to be a fun, calming activity with the chance to learn a new skill or just relax on deck. As one guest said, “fishing was a brilliant experience, and I might even take it up as a hobby.”
Swimming Break: Cool Off in the Atlantic
The highlight for many is the swimming stop—a chance to plunge into the clear blue waters. The reviews describe this as an amazing experience, with some guests saying it felt like the perfect way to cool off and enjoy the Atlantic’s freshness. The water quality and visibility seem to impress most, making it a refreshing interlude during the trip.
Tasting Moroccan Flavors: The Lunch
After working up an appetite, the crew prepares a Moroccan barbecue lunch featuring fresh fish and salads. Several travelers praised the delicious food, describing the fish as freshly grilled and the salads as flavorful and authentic. Drinks like soft drinks, coffee, and tea are also available, complementing the meal.
One guest commented, “The food was absolutely delicious, and it felt like a real Moroccan feast.” Having this meal served onboard adds a wonderful cultural touch that makes the experience feel more genuine and immersive.
Return and Drop-off

What We Like About This Tour
Authentic Moroccan cuisine is a highlight—being served fresh fish and salads right on the boat makes the meal feel special. The friendly crew ensures everyone feels comfortable, often described as helpful and cheerful, which enhances the relaxed vibe of the trip.
The scenic coastal views are genuinely breathtaking. The pictures shared by travelers show cliffs, beaches, and the vast Atlantic, giving you plenty of photo opportunities.
Swimming in the Atlantic is another standout. Many mention how refreshing and enjoyable it is to take a dip in the natural waters, with some even seeing dolphins—which adds a magical touch to the day.
Small group size (limited to 20 travelers) means more personalized attention, and you’re less likely to feel crowded or rushed, especially compared to larger tours.
Considerations and Possible Drawbacks
While most reviews are positive, some travelers noted that the boat doesn’t venture very far from the coast—just a couple of miles—so if you’re expecting a lengthy cruise or deep-sea fishing, it might feel a bit limited. Plus, weather conditions can influence the experience; for example, a day with bad weather might reduce fishing success or swimming enjoyment, as one guest experienced.
Price-wise, at $69.79 per person, the value depends on what you’re after. If you love scenic boat rides, fresh seafood, and light adventure, it’s a fair price. For those seeking a full-day excursion or a more adventurous cruise, this might feel somewhat short or subdued.

Families with children who enjoy swimming and outdoor activities may also find it appealing.
It’s a good fit if you’re looking for a balance between sightseeing and relaxation without the hassle of organizing your own transport or activities. However, if you’re expecting a long, adventurous cruise or extensive fishing, you might want to consider other options.
