Why Your Superyacht Should Set Sail To Cuba!
In case you didn’t know, here are some pretty impressive facts…
Cuba is the 8th largest archipelago in the world that covers:
- The big island: Cuba
- The small island: The Isle of Youth (Isla de La Juventud)
- Four minor archipelagos with over 4000 uninhabited islands and islets
With over 3500 miles of white powder sand and crystal clear water, 9 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and sub-aquatic national parks with pristine reefs & incomparable sea life, Cuba is undoubtedly a breathtaking paradise.
Enjoy hiking?
There are three mountain ranges with pristine nature, rivers, waterfalls, hiking trails – all near a coast or a port (international and domestic).
Diving your favourite pastime?
Enjoy world class diving at every marina with world-class dive guides & instructors.
Not sure if Cuba’s that accessible for your superyacht?
There are…
- Seven international ports of entry with adjacent airports that accommodate private aircraft, including helicopters
- Marina services at every port of entry; deep anchorages and cruise terminals for superyachts with bunkering services
- Daily International flights from all over the world to Havana and Santiago (and a few smaller cities with international flights from the US)

Maria Romeu, founding partner, welcomes you to Cuba:
“Cuba is breathtakingly beautiful, very peaceful, practically untouched by modernization. The Cuban people in all walks of life (including the marine authorities) welcome visitors from everywhere in the world in their warm and welcoming embrace. There’s so much to do in cities and in nature that we can help crew plan any free time they might have in any part of the country.
It is also one of the safest countries in the world to visit, with a very low crime rate and almost no crime against international visitors.
Once you have seen it all, discover Cuba!”
