In Morocco, yachting tourism is an important component of the 2020 tourism vision. Several marinas projects have been launched since 2000 to achieve the Moroccan tourism vision goals, orientated towards yachting/nautical tourism. Indeed, both tourism strategies 2010 and 2020 gave a great interest to yachting tourism. This paper’s main concern will be the analysis of the strategic choice of Morocco for seaside tourism and the results of that choice, three years before the 2020 vision’s deadline. In the same context, it will focus on the presentation of two territorial models of marinas: the ex-nihilo model of Saïdia Mediterrania and the urban marinacity model of Rabat Bou-Regreg. Spatial and economical approaches, as well as a field survey on a sample of visitors and yachtsmen, were used to evaluate the influences of these two marinas, the differences between their models, the typology and behavior of visitors and the effects of the marinas development on tourism and on the environment. Despite their launch, these marinas are far from seeing a real craze. The visitation of international yachts is still below expectations, while the local market does not yet seem to have the means to invest in water-based recreations. Marina Saïdia suffers from the delays that affected all sea resort projects, while the Bouregreg marina does not manage to sell its real estate and recreational model, even if its marina seems to work little by little. It seems that several readjustments remain to be made to revive the model of marinas in Morocco and especially to be able to integrate it in a controversial space.
