Hotels near Hammamet Marina and Sunset Boat Trips

Hammamet's small fishing port and adjacent marina (separate from Yasmine Marina) sit at the eastern edge of the old town - the place where local fishermen unload daily catches each morning. Several traditional wooden Caribbean-style schooners and Tunisian dhow boats offer 2-3 hour sunset cruises along the Hammamet coast, typically including snorkelling stops, lunch or dinner aboard, and live music.

Sunset cruises 50-100 TND per person including meal. Full-day cruises with multiple snorkelling stops 80-150 TND. Operators include Pirates Beach Club and Sunset Cruises Hammamet. Departures from both old Hammamet port and Yasmine Marina. The fish auction at the port on weekday mornings (07:00-09:00) is free to watch - lobsters, octopus, and Mediterranean sea bass are the catches.

Pro Tip: Book a sunset cruise that departs from the old Hammamet port rather than Yasmine Marina - smaller boats, more authentic feel, and the route past the Medina cliffs is more scenic. The 17:30 departure catches sunset perfectly in summer.
