Enter at a recognised port
A foreign yacht arriving from abroad must first call at a recognised Moroccan port where the harbour master, border police and Customs can complete entry. Do not land elsewhere before the authorities release the yacht and crew.
Notify the port before arrival
Contact the receiving marina or harbour master before arrival with the ETA, yacht particulars, last port and crew list. Commercial and fishing ports may require an agent and advance confirmation of a safe berth.
Complete yacht and crew declarations
Expect passport control, a crew list, yacht registration and a Customs declaration for the vessel and stores. Keep the stamped entry papers aboard for later port calls and final departure.
Confirm visa eligibility
Moroccan visitor-entry rules depend on nationality. Crew who require a visa or electronic authorisation should obtain it before sailing and every passport should meet the current validity rule.
Report movements and departure
Harbour masters commonly record arrivals and departures at each Moroccan port. Confirm the next-port movement with the local authorities and obtain formal outward clearance before leaving Morocco.
Temporary admission and owner absence
A foreign yacht is placed under Customs control for its temporary stay. If the owner or authorised user will leave Morocco while the yacht remains, arrange the correct immobilisation or custody procedure before departure.
Restricted and commercial waters
Keep clear of naval, industrial and tanker zones and follow harbour-master instructions. Ports without established yacht berths should never be approached as an assumed leisure stop.

Carry clear digital and printed copies of yacht, insurance, passport, crew and previous-clearance records.

State the yacht’s flag, private or commercial use, ownership and intended movements in Morocco accurately.
