Tips for your charter trip from Cuba
To make your sailing adventure perfect, you should keep the following in mind:
Trade winds & weather
The winter months (Nov–Apr) offer ideal conditions.
Stable trade winds, calm sailing
Plan well during the hurricane season (Jun–Nov)
Provisioning & supplies
Supermarkets are not well stocked everywhere. If the charter company offers provisioning, feel free to ask for advice!
It is best to prepare well in Cienfuegos and buy fresh catch from local fishermen.
Anchoring & navigation
Many cayos are only accessible by boat.
Navigation charts and knowledge of local rules are important.
Pay close attention to reefs – the routes are fantastic, but they are protected nature reserves.
The right charter company
A reliable provider makes all the difference (we are happy to advise you!).
