Agadir is built around its glorious crescent of Atlantic beach, and the best way to appreciate it is from the water. The modern marina at the northern end of the bay is the launch point for a fleet of pleasure boats, catamarans, fishing charters and sailing yachts, all making the most of a coastline that is sunny almost every day of the year. A boat trip here is one of the easiest, most rewarding half-days you can add to an Agadir or Taghazout holiday, and there is a style of trip to suit families, anglers and couples alike.
The headline attraction is the bay's resident dolphins. Pods of common and bottlenose dolphins feed in these waters year-round, and a catamaran cruise out from the marina very often finds them riding the bow wave or playing in the swell. These trips are gentle and family-friendly, usually pausing for a swim and a snorkel in a sheltered cove. For something more active, the rich Atlantic fishing grounds off Agadir make a half-day charter genuinely productive — sea bream, bonito and mackerel are common, and the crew will happily arrange to have your catch grilled afterwards.
And when the day winds down, nothing beats a sunset sail. As the boat glides along the coast, the long beach, the Kasbah hill and the white city blocks turn gold, glass in hand and the Atlantic breeze in your hair. Below are the three trips we recommend most — a dolphin-watching cruise, a deep-sea fishing charter and a sunset sail — each with realistic durations, what is included and an honest from-price so you can compare like for like before you book your time on the water.
