We took the boat to Marina Smir in August, no probs. Just like entering a Spanish marina, you need skipper's passport (or was it the whole crew's?), certificate of registry and (v. important) insurance certificate.

We went in to Tangier a couple of years ago and had no problems at all . No visa needed and all formalities dealt with on the boat, very pleasantly with no requests for 'baksheesh'.
We really enjoyed our few days in the city. There was no marina or services, well there was water if you could find the key! Enjoy!

Hi Gerry,
Yes, I agree. We had no problems in Tangiers (about 5 years ago) though I confess we were quite worried about what to expect. We had a terrific time with absolutely no 'boat type' problems, though we did tend to get pestered by inumerable market sellers wherever we walked.
The latter point is not to be treated lightly IMHO. SWMBO got quite concerned a couple of times with the 'press' of people around her, and as she's perfectly capable of single-handing our boat anywhere, she's not easily alarmed. Some ladies may not enjoy the place at all because of this.
Like you, we had no aggro from beggers either, though I suspect that if one went much further off the main 'track' things might be different.

Wonderful place - visited lots of Morocco by boat - really enjoyed it and was made welcome almost as good as Tunisia which has welcome the tourists down to a fine and friendly art. Tangier is terrific - been in and out dozens of times - boat park very secure - town and souk lovely. If you tell the 'beggers' we are off a boat after a couple of days they will just say 'hello' and not pester you at all.
A place to enjoy - good food - good wine and those Riff mountains are just covered in plants that would raise eyebrows in W1... but done in the best possible taste!

Casablanca is extremely dirty and noisy - not at all like the movie would suggest. If you like the hustle and bustle of a big city then... Just watch out for the traffic; pedestrian fatalities are common.

Casablanca is closed for yachts - where do you want to go? No visas needed, but passports, crewlists and some patience. Very friendly officials, but sometimes not used to yachts. If you have questions, PM me.
