VSY, or Viareggio Superyachts, builds motor yachts from the historic yachting coast of Italy with an emphasis on structural innovation and interior flexibility. Three VSY yachts are available for charter in Cuba through The Yacht Collection, each reflecting different owner priorities in terms of layout, performance and interior design. The Viareggio tradition of quality marine carpentry is evident throughout all three vessels.
VSY yachts tend toward full-displacement hulls with the range and seakeeping suited to Cuba’s offshore passages. The crossing to the Jardines de la Reina from the northern coast, the passage along the exposed eastern tip of the island and the south coast route between Cienfuegos and Trinidad all reward a hull that handles open water with composure. Crews of ten to fourteen manage vessels accommodating ten to twelve guests.
Charter rates for VSY yachts in Cuba range from approximately 80,000 to 200,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent of the base rate. Cuba’s peak season is December through April, with the most favourable weather and highest guest demand coinciding from January to March.
From Havana, a VSY itinerary moves efficiently between the island’s key destinations. The northern coast run east to Varadero, the southern crossing to the Jardines de la Reina and the passage via Cienfuegos toward Trinidad cover the most rewarding ground Cuba offers, with the displacement hull providing a comfortable and quiet passage for guests between each destination.
