      Great surf rental with friendly staff
      Whilst I was on holiday with my family, none of them wanted to surf so I treated myself to a two hour surf rental. From the moment I turned up the staff there (apologies I didn't get their names) were friendly and helpful. I guess you get good at choosing sizes of wetsuits but the one he picked me was perfect, along with a bright coloured t shirt (so my family could easily spot me falling off 🤣) . There was a curtained off area to get changed and I could have left my stuff in a locker if I had wanted. And then I enjoyed two hours attempting to surf. Brilliant! The man was again friendly when I went back and said I could have had a shower (but our apartment was close by). An excellent experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company.

      Wonderful experience!!! Highly recommend
      My first time surfing. I try it from about 12 noon to 2 pm. All the staff are very friendly and patient! Thanks to my coach, who explained it in detail and encouraged me all the time. The surf was hard at first, but eventually I was able to work on keeping my balance and maintaining some distance. I will definitely try it a second time later

      Bleukite Essaouira are awesome
      I went back to Essaouira for a short break in Feb 2024, my previous visit was 2019. Booked a refresher course with Bleukite as I did a 6 day course with them on my first trip and made so much progress and had great fun at the same time.. This course was awesome, just like the first; attentive instructors who encourage and motivate all the time giving direct feedback via walkietalkie to ensure rapid progress. I finished every class smiling from ear to ear! All staff are friendly, helpful and full of advice.It's like a big happy family with tips for places to visit and where to eat and also where to get bargains in the Medina! Shopping where the locals shop to avoid the tourist traps! They can even help sorting accomodation and airport transfers if you want. I recommend them 100% and will definitely be going back again!!!

      Epic trip with Bleukite!
      Couldn’t recommend Bleukite more! We started as complete beginners and after 10 hours with Samadi and Waseem were up on the board which we definitely didn’t expect. Very special team with great energy and positivity. They were really flexible and so we managed to get some surfing in as well. We will absolutely be coming back for more fun!

      Awesome
      The Bleukite crew were so friendly and fun. We had a mix up with our booking where we thought we had booked kite surfing but had booked surfing and they were really chill and helpful. We had an awesome kite-surfing lesson. They also gave us great restaurant recommendations afterwards! Would come back for sure <3

      Top-level kite surfing lessons - Remarkable school
      I spent 9 days in Essaouira and had kite surfing lessons at BleuKite. The whole service was remarkable. When booking my lessons, they first offered to take care of the accommodation. Not knowing Essaouira, this proved extremely helpful and comfortable. They booked me in a nice and quiet Riad in the Medina, very close to the heart of the old town and yet in a calm alley, which was highly appreciable. Being an instructor myself, I usually have a very critical eye on teaching and safety matters. I can tell, the quality of both is very high. Youssef is a top-level instructor. I was amazed by the level of detail in his observations, what he was able to notice even in the distance, and the precision and helpfulness of his feedback, instructions and explanations. I can’t find a sufficient superlative to describe how acute and technical he was, as well as kind, patient, encouraging, and always smiling and positive. The audio system on the helmet is also very precious: having real-time feedback while out on the water is so useful, I could immediately feel the effect on my navigation when when applying the instructions I was being given. And also see that he never takes his eye off the ball. Last, the whole team is just fantastic. So much kindness, joy, helpfulness and good spirit warmed my heart. I had a blast, I learned a lot and I’ll be back.

    Bleukite is hands down the best surf school in Essaouira. A little bit hidden from the main road, lies the cozy BKS headquarters, where you will be kindly welcomed by the friendly staff. As absolute beginners, your instructor is very very important...and we felt very comfortable with Imad and Youssef. Both were able to take us step by step through this learning process, carefully balancing safety and progress. The equipment is clean and pretty new. The instructors will take u by quad to the best spots on the beach. After 12 hours, spread over 5 days, we managed to handle the kite very well, and we managed to waterlaunch. In short, if u are looking for the right kitesurf school for you, don't hesitate, Blue Kite Surf is the place. Enjoy !

    This is your spot. I’ve taken a handful of kite lessons over the last few months in several different locations, and can say BleuKite was hands down the best. Youssef has been kiting for 20 years and instructing for almost 15, and it shows. He is clear in his guidance and I was always impressed by his ability to spot even minor tweaks I needed to make.

    Beyond that, the entire staff was absolutely incredible. They were so welcoming and attentive - just a pleasure to come the shop.

    Could not recommend more highly.

    Superb kite school! it was my very first kite experience. The team is really great!!!! since the first meeting to ask for information, prices etc., I loved the contact, the kindness, the time they took to explain everything to me. the courses (I took Semi-Private) are extremely well taught, I progressed quickly because they are very educational and really professional! Go there with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed.

    I will be back in 3 or 4 months in Essaouira to improve. Guess where I'm going to go?????

    And the best part, they take us on a quad in the cart far from where the majority of schools give lessons, to the lagoon surrounded by dunes facing the sea.

    The equipment and lessons of Bleukite were excellent. We were a large group of different levels of kite experience and age. Each received from Bleukite its own kite equipment and there was one teacher for every two persons. The school chose the time and the best spot and drove us there on the very long beach. The ‘ambiance’ was relax and fun. The beginners among us learned in one week from zero to standing up on the board and starting to kite. All was very well explained. Beginners and advanced always felt very safe, also when the wind was strong. The teachers were great, giving plenty of confidence and were very able. They also helped us in organizing our stay. We certainly come back.

    In summary, the best school in town, very professional and of high quality. Rating 5/5, 10/10

    Mustafa was an amazing surf instructor. He took the time and the care to make sure I understood exactly every step and that I knew and had what it took to stand up and surf. He would not quit until I was successful. Super grateful for the experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful at Bleukite can’t wait to check them out again.!
