A 4.0 rating and no free cancellation. Those two facts should be the first things you read about this Agadir boat trip, because they tell you most of what you need to know. At EUR68 for a six-hour Atlantic ocean excursion with fishing, swimming, and a barbecue, the concept sounds brilliant. The execution, based on 37 reviews averaging just 4.0, is inconsistent enough that we cannot recommend it with confidence.
What actually happens
You board a boat in Agadir’s harbour around 9am and head out into the Atlantic. The day divides into three activities: fishing (basic handline or rod fishing for whatever is biting), swimming in open water at an anchor point along the coast, and a barbecue lunch prepared onboard. Dessert is included, suggesting a reasonably comprehensive food offering. The boat returns to harbour around 3pm. The six-hour duration gives genuine time on the water rather than the brief harbour-circuit tourist boats that other operators run.
Our honest take
A 4.0 rating is the lowest we have seen for any Agadir water activity, and it is well below our recommendation threshold. For context, Agadir’s quad bike tours score 4.5 to 5.0, camel rides score 4.4 to 4.9, and surf lessons score 5.0. A 4.0 for a boat trip suggests real problems. The most likely issues: seasickness on the Atlantic (which the operator cannot control but should warn about more clearly), equipment quality, the boat itself, or the barbecue falling short of expectations. The lack of free cancellation is also a red flag - reputable operators offer this as standard because they are confident in their product. At EUR68 with no cancellation flexibility, you are taking a financial risk on an experience that a significant minority of past guests found disappointing. If you absolutely want a boat day in Agadir, search for alternatives with better ratings. If none exist, consider whether a day at the beach with a rented sunbed and a restaurant lunch might give you more reliable enjoyment for less money.
Who should book this
- Honestly, we would recommend looking for higher-rated boat trip alternatives first
- Experienced ocean travellers who are confident they will not get seasick and have low expectations for frills
- Groups who specifically want to combine fishing and swimming in one outing
Who should skip this
- Anyone prone to seasickness - the Atlantic off Agadir can be rough
- Travellers who expect reliability - the 4.0 rating and no free cancellation are warning signs
- Budget-conscious visitors - EUR68 is a lot to risk on a below-average rated experience
- Families with children - a potentially rough Atlantic boat ride without free cancellation is not worth the stress
Before you book
Duration: 6 hours (9am to 3pm)
Price: EUR68 per person
Cancellation: No free cancellation - you pay regardless. Consider this carefully.
Rating: 4.0/5 from 37 verified reviews
The honest verdict: At 4.0 with no free cancellation, this is the riskiest booking in our Agadir collection. The concept is fun, but the reviews indicate inconsistent delivery. Unless you have a strong stomach, flexible expectations, and money you are comfortable potentially losing, look elsewhere.
Practical tip: If you do book this, take seasickness medication before boarding. The Atlantic swells off Agadir are real, and six hours on the water is a long time to feel nauseous. Bring a waterproof bag for your phone and valuables. Ask about safety equipment before departure.
