Do you get a stamp entering Morocco from Spain by ferry?

Yes, you get a passport stamp when entering Morocco by ferry from Spain — immigration is handled either on board the ferry or at the port on arrival (commonly at Tanger Med or Tangier), and you must get the entry stamp to be legally in the country. On many crossings, officers process passports on the boat during the sailing.

Make sure you actually receive the stamp: seek out the immigration desk on board if there is one, or complete formalities at the port, and don’t leave without it, as an unstamped entry causes problems on exit. You’ll also fill in an arrival card.

Keep your ferry ticket and any paperwork until you leave Morocco. The process is routine, but the responsibility to get stamped is yours, so don’t assume it’s automatic.
