Rich history and striking contrasts of the sea, sky, and sand.
North Africa: Where It All Began
The earliest modern humans are believed to have come from North Africa. Today, this region is home to some of the most striking contrasts and rich history, offering a yachting experience filled with cultural immersion and a historical trip to the past. With the North Atlantic to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to its north, and the Red Sea to the East, a North African yacht charter is a must!
Begin in Morocco, where Casablanca's harbour serves as an exhilarating entry point to the Atlantic. Anchor at the stylish Marina Smir or explore Tangier and Rabat's medieval medinas. For an off-the-beaten-path experience, head to Al Hoceima National Park's spectacular cliffs, where untouched beaches and secluded coves await. Head to Merzouga and take a 4x4 desert tour of the vast dunes of Safari. Enjoy Berber music, and immerse yourself in the unique culture of the Sahara.
Heading east, Tunisia has some of the most incredible ancient shipwrecks, like the Mahdia shipwreck. Tunisia's Mediterranean coastline is also home to several marinas, including Port El Kantaoui, near Sousse, which is renowned for its luxury yachting services. Tunis, with its rich heritage and new attractions, is increasingly becoming more suitable for yachting. At the same time, the port city of La Goulette serves as a gateway to the Mediterranean. From here, explore the Gulf of Tunis while taking in views of Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In contrast to the classic Mediterranean yachting destinations, the islands of Djerba and Kerkennah offer a serene retreat with stunning landscapes and local cultural experiences that showcase the other side of the Mediterranean.
The Egyptian coastline offers an unparalleled blend of adventure and antiquity. Alexandria's stunning coastline, with its historic landmarks like Fort Qaitbey, creates a charming atmosphere. El Gouna is also called the "Venice of the Red Sea," known for its world-class kiteboarding site with winding lagoons. A detour up the Nile unveils the grandeur of pharaoh tombs, Mamluk mosques, and legendary temples like Luxor and Karnak.
At the southernmost tip of the Red Sea, Djibouti is a small but culturally rich nation boasting striking volcanic landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and the ethereal Lac Assal, Africa’s lowest point. Here, dive with whale sharks, trek through Mars-like terrain, or unwind on untouched ivory shores.
Yachting in North Africa is more than a lavish escape. It's a glimpse into some of the world's most fascinating civilisations. The region's Mediterranean charm, Arabian mystique, and African energy make every trip full of discovery.
