Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean and, for decades, the least sailed. That is changing slowly, but the south-west coast remains close to empty ’ hundreds of cays in the Canarreos and the Gulf of Batabanó, most of them uninhabited and many uncharted in any useful detail.
The interest is not only marine. Viñales grows the tobacco that makes the cigars, in a valley of limestone mogotes that have stood since the Jurassic, worked by oxen because the soil will not take a tractor.
Cruising here requires paperwork, and nationals of some countries face additional restrictions. We handle the permissions.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read Cuba; the rest we tailor to you.
