| Its position in the heart of the Mediterranean, the length of its coasts, the abundance of ports and sites, its hot Mediterranean climate and strong winds four times less frequent than on the European shores. Ports are embedded in natural landscapes and offer a large variety of landscapes that ensures the joy of discovery at every stop. The stopovers make it possible to discover in the cities and villages, the richness of the archaeological and architectural inheritance, handicrafts, popular traditions and the hospitality of the Tunisian people. |
| Beautiful marinas were built in El Kantaoui, Yasmine Hammamet, Monastir, Tabarka, Sidi Bou Saïd and Bizerte. Water sports are very popular in Tunisia: from boat rides to upward parachute, windsurfing, catamaran, pedal boats, jet skis and water skiing. There is currently more than sixty nautical centers or bases throughout the coastline that are subject to very rigorous controls and draconian safety requirements. |
| Tunisia’s clear waters, coral beds and diverse sea life make it a popular destination for scuba diving. Tabarka Yachting Club and the International Diving Centre at Port el Kantaoui are recognized by the World Confederation for Diving and offer fully equipped lessons and trips. For underwater fishing, it is necessary to bring one’s own equipment, and obtain details of conservationist underwater fishing restrictions from the National Tourist Office. Port el Kantaoui and Yasmine Hammamet’s are ports of international standard offering mooring for hundreds of boats, harbor-master’s office, deep-sea navigation school, sailing school, ship-chandler, boat-rental and a dry-docking area with maintenance shops. Among other windsurfing (and water-skiing) centers is Le Club Nautique de Sidi-Bou Said, which has a marina complex. |
| Tunisia is the departure/arrival point for many trans- Mediterranean and Mediterranean windsurfing competitions. The port of Sidi Bou Said with its school of windsurfing and sailing is a focal point for these international activities. The abundance and great variety of fish makes fishing very popular. Catches include mullet, ray, dogfish, groupers, red rock mullet, crayfish and shrimp. A wetsuit is necessary only between November and April. One can watch coral fishing at Tabarka, octopus fishing off the Kerkenah Islands, sponge fishing at Sfax, on the island of Jerba and in the Gulf of Gabès, and tuna fishing by the experts at Sidi Daoud. These ‘fishing spectacles’ take place in May and June. |
