A great team led by Rachid, chill atmosphere, top instructors (Mehdi, great teacher and really invested in his job/passion). My daughters had a great time and are only thinking of coming back. They are all super nice and very professional.

4 of us enjoyed an EPIC downwinder hosted by Rashid and his awesome crew at Essaouira Water Sports. These guys provided us with great gear, terrific service, and just a lot of fun, all at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend!

The crew of Essaouira Watersports is open minded and makes you feeling at home in the water… The teacher supported me with clear advices and made me feel comfortable and safe. As a not super sporty person I never felt judged when I had a fail and this was important to me.
