He's currently benefitting from the Schengen Treaty, which almost all European Union are signatories to, which eliminated internal border controls. Morocco is NOT a signatory, and thus traveling out of Spain at that point will require documentation. Someone taking him over by private boat would essentially be engaging in smuggling.
