Best kite spot in Essaouira
Amazing experience. Learned how to jump up to 8 meters (I was jumping 2 max)

Fantastic place!
Lovely place, we've been there for kitesurfing the second time, new equipment (Duotone), perfect service, best surfer vibes. Also nice spot with a lot of space to play in the waves & strong wind. We will come back!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your second kitesurfing experience with us and loved the new Duotone equipment. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the vibes, the waves, and the space to play! We can’t wait to welcome you back for more fun on the water 🤙🏼🌊

Very good place, I recommend!
I strongly recommend this place for both lesson and rental. :) the great experience started already the day before: They reply fast and answer all the questions you may have. We only had 1 day so we were determined to go kitesurfing even though the conditions were difficult. They did everything to help us enjoy the time despite little wind: chose the best moment to go on the water, change my kite mid session. They also prebooked the board and harness for me after I flagged that I need extra small sizes. The equipment and the school are all well kept and there are instructors & a support team to help you if you need it - also during rental. If I could give them 6 starts I would. Job well done!!! Will def come to the same school when Im back to Essaouira!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re thrilled that you had such a great experience with us, despite the tricky conditions. We really appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back to Essaouira for more kitesurfing fun!

Kitesurf Rental: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Essaouira.
How much does Kitesurf Rental cost?
+
Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Essaouira usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kitesurf Rental take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Essaouira is not rushed.
Is Kitesurf Rental worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 65 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Essaouira, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kitesurf Rental?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kitesurf Rental suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kitesurf Rental?
+
Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Essaouira can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Essaouira and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kitesurf Rental start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Essaouira within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Essaouira?
+
On Outty we rank every Essaouira experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 hours ride on camel at sunset, 3-hour camel ride at sunset, Essaouira: 2-Hour Beach & Dunes Quad Tour with Tea. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Essaouira?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Essaouira?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Kitesurf Rental?
+
Included: Kite, Bar, Board, Wetsuit and Harness; and Launch, Landing and Rescue Boat service. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Kitesurf Rental?
+
Our centre is located right on the beach the other side of the bay from the old medina at the optimum spot for watersports in Essaouira. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kitesurf Rental?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Kitesurf Rental if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Essaouira. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What booking options are available for Kitesurf Rental?
+
There are 2 options to choose from, including Kitesurf Rental - half day, Kite Rental - Full day. Prices and start times differ by option, so compare them on the booking screen.
