The first known sailor to drop anchor off this green-and-blue isle was Christopher Columbus, who in 1492 declared it “the most beautiful land human eyes have seen”.
Yachting is still relatively new to Cuba so marinas currently are few. Quiet anchorages in uninhabited cays.
Tides & currents
Tidal range is very small, and currents are generally weak.
Weather
Season: November to July. Trade winds from north east force 3-6 in winter, southeast 2-4 in summer. Sea temperature 26 – 29oC year round. Hurricane season August to October.
Charter Base
Cienfuegos City was founded by French colonists from Bordeaux and La Luisiana and still exudes a distinctly Gallic influence in its buildings. From the new marina you have direct access to the stunning scenery along the southern coast of Cuba.
