This year we are looking to save some tiring and equally expensive kilometres through Spain (petrol and motorway fees). So the options are leaving from France at the port of Sete with a 36 hour passing to Tanger or from Spain, Barcelona (26 hours).
The passage Sete- Tanger is operated by the Moroccon comany Comarit (http://www.comarit.com). They have to ferries on this route, so are approximatly leaving every third day. Many European ferry agencies seem to have eliminated them from their programme due to unreliable bookings and poor conditions of the ship. Prices, too, compared to the Barcelona alternative adding the route and petrol cost are not really competitive and convincing. Anyhow, it is always worthwhile double checking. Here the contact for Comarit in Sete:

But the travel agency Biladi, promoted from Morocco to enhance tourism, also sells tickets. They have several agencies (the link wont show in the post, so here: http://www.biladivoyages.com/agences ) in France, but also one in Barcelona and Bruxelles.
The Italian company Grandi Navi Veloci is operating the route Genua- Barcelona- Tanger. They are leaving from Barcelona twice a week, Wednesdays and Sundays. Calculating and adding the cost of the road from Barcelona to Algeciras to the ferry (Euro 120 one pers and one car + minimum 150 for road and petrol), it turns out that leaving from Barcelona by ferry is cheaper (around this time of year Grandi Navi Veloci have promotional tickets starting from 201 euros..)! Their website has an online booking, but also a list of affiliated travel agencies in different countries many of which also have offers for the route Sete-Tanger, a selection of which I copy-pasted here.
