“Sousse Boat Tours” sounds like the name of a single attraction, but it is better understood as a search label for sea excursions around Sousse. That distinction matters because the city has more than one kind of waterfront. The Office de la Marine Marchande et des Ports (OMMP), Tunisia’s port authority, describes central Sousse as a commercial port that handles general cargo. Tunisia’s Customs Administration separately lists “Sousse El Kantaoui” among the country’s pleasure ports. They are not interchangeable departure points. The pin associated with this listing is in the central Port of Sousse area, so do not assume a sightseeing boat leaves from that exact spot without confirmation from the operator.
For visitors looking for leisure sailing, Port El Kantaoui is the marina most often associated with excursions near Sousse. It lies north of the city, in the Hammam Sousse area, and is a separate destination from the old port and medina. The official tourism brochure groups Sousse and Port El Kantaoui as one coastal region while describing a range of water activities along Tunisia’s shore. In practical terms, a booking may say “Sousse” for the wider resort area even when boarding takes place at El Kantaoui. Check the exact pier and meeting instructions before arranging transport or assuming you can walk to the boat from the medina.
