Panga Private Boat Charter
The easy, fast way to have the Tangier coastline to yourselves
The experience
There is a moment, about ten minutes after you clear the marina wall, when the noise of the city simply stops. The engine settles, the water turns from harbour green to deep Atlantic blue, and the whole coastline — cliffs, pine, empty sand — opens up in front of you with nobody else on it.
The Panga is our most-booked private charter for a reason. She is quick, stable and easy to love: shade when you want it, sun when you don't, and a swimming ladder that goes down the second you find water you like the look of. Your skipper knows the coves the tour buses will never reach.
Bring your people, your music and your swimwear. We will handle the rest, and you will spend the rest of your holiday telling everyone about the afternoon you swam off a boat in Morocco.

How the day unfolds
- 1
Meet your skipper
You are welcomed on the pontoon 15 minutes before departure, introduced to your skipper and shown around the boat.
- 2
Board your private boat
Store your bags, settle onto the sun deck and let the crew run through safety in plain English, French or Arabic.
- 3
Leave the marina
Slip past the breakwater and watch the white city rise behind you as the open water opens up ahead.
- 4
Cruise the coastline
Follow the cliffs west toward Cap Spartel, with the Atlantic on one side and the Strait of Gibraltar on the other.
- 5
Photo stops
The skipper holds position at the best angles — the lighthouse, the caves, the point where two seas meet.
- 6
Hidden beaches
Anchor off coves that can only be reached from the water, far from the crowds on the city beaches.
- 7
Swimming stop
Ladder down into clear, calm water. Take as long as you like — the boat is yours.
- 8
Snorkelling & floating
Masks, the floating mat and the inflatable come out. This is the part children never forget.
- 9
Relax on deck
Dry off in the sun, put your music on and enjoy refreshments while the coastline drifts past.
- 10
Return to the marina
A slow golden cruise home, back alongside with time to spare for dinner in town.
