Bouregreg Marina is in the capitol city of Rabat. It is part of a modern, residential & commercial area that is quite nice and the marina is very protected both from wind & wave as well as from a security standpoint. The Royal family uses this marina for their own boats and thus it is well secured. This is a popular stop for boats traveling to & from the Canaries and is well worth the effort. Entrance to the river is gained by going through a couple of sets of breakwaters and it is best to radio the marina on VHF 10 when you are 1 mile out and they will come out in a small powerboat to lead you in- this is the routine. The entry is not safe in heavy weather or swell greater than 2 meters as the entrance breaks. Depths were >4m in 10/2017 at the entrance even at 2 hrs before LW. See survey we took for this entrance. They will first lead you to the welcome dock for check-in and then escort you to your berth. The marina is located just before the highway bridge on the port side. Berths are unusually wide, one boat to a berth with short finger piers on either side. Power & water included w/ berth fee. Rabat is 1 hr earlier than Spain.

Rabat is a great town to explore with several monuments, a modest sized medina and the marina complex offers many restaurants, shops and a promenade. The airport is only a few miles away, taxis are easy to get and we rented a car for 2 weeks from the airport. Traveling in Morocco is great fun and the tourist infrastructure and roads are good although defensive driving is important here. Fez is not too far away and highly recommended as the medina is fascinating! You can get to other cities bt train as well. The Rabat Zoo is modern, interesting & inexpensive.
