Is there jet ski or water sports on the Morocco coast?

Yes, the resort-style watersports you'd picture — jet skis buzzing across a bay, parasailing, banana boats, the occasional flyboard — do exist in Morocco, but they're concentrated in specific places rather than spread along the whole coast. Agadir is the main Atlantic hub. As a purpose-built resort city with long sandy beaches and calmer water than much of the coast, it has the full menu in summer: jet ski hire, parasailing, banana-boat rides, and similar, run from the beachfront for the holiday crowd. If that's the kind of seaside fun you're after, Agadir is your most reliable bet on the Atlantic side.

The Mediterranean coast up north is the other stronghold, and arguably better for it because the water is warmer, calmer, and bluer. The resort town of Saidia near the Algerian border has a big marina and a developed watersports scene, and spots like M'diq, Cabo Negro, and the beaches around Tangier and Al Hoceima come alive in July and August with jet skis and beach toys. This is where Moroccan families and Gulf holidaymakers go for a classic beach summer, and the infrastructure reflects that.

Inland, there's a fun surprise: Lalla Takerkoust, the reservoir lake near Marrakech, offers jet skiing and other watersports against an Atlas mountain backdrop, which makes a great hot-day escape from the city without driving to the coast. By contrast, Essaouira and Dakhla — the two names people associate most with Moroccan watersports — are really about wind-driven sports, windsurfing and kitesurfing, rather than motorised jet skis, because that relentless wind is the whole point there.

A couple of honest caveats from arranging these. It's strongly seasonal — outside the summer months many beach operators simply aren't running, and the Atlantic is cold and rough enough that the jet-ski scene is far smaller than the Mediterranean's. Safety standards at informal beach setups vary, so I'd use established operators, insist on a life jacket, and not assume there's much in the way of regulation. With those caveats, if you want some motorised splash-about fun, Agadir, the northern Med resorts, or Lalla Takerkoust will sort you out.
