Yacht Charter Cuba, Trinidad and Cienfuegos.
Cuba, the largest of the Caribbean islands,
incorporates a fascinating blend of colonial history with
a diverse combination of Latin American, Spanish and African
cultures. Spotless white sandy beaches, coconut palms and
an underwater world that is home to five hundred species of
fish and fifty different coral types surround this exciting
island. Cuba and the surrounding islands have a sub tropical
climate, which is influenced by balmy northeast trade winds.
Cuba is most famous for its lobster, try it cooked ‘asodo’,
roasted in a small open pit and served with traditional black
beans and rice. Chicken and pork dishes accompanied by brown
rice, fried banana and sweet potato are also very popular.
Choose from our fleet of 37ft to 45ft yachts and catamarans.
Boat rental starting bases
There are two main bases and four main island groups to explore
along the southern shore of Cuba, the largest island in the
Caribbean. Your sailing area from the two main bases, Cienfuegos
or Trinidad incorporates the Canarreos archipelago and the
Juventud Islands or Jardines de la Reina Archipelago.
Trinidad : this base is 15 minutes from the
colonial style city of Trinidad, located in the centre of
the south coast of Cuba. Enjoy the incredible landscape of
the Escambray mountains close by and admire the many rivers,
tropical flowers and stunning waterfalls all around.
Cienfuegos : All services of a modern marina,
but also a normal, very vivid Cuban city, an environment of
many cultural and natural attractions : La Perla del Sur ,
the pearl of the south, makes all these requirements meet
in an ideal way. Enjoy the beauty of its rich architectural
heritage from the 19th century.

Weather and sailing conditions
Winds are sometimes stronger to the north of the islands and
regular and constant trade winds benefit the more sheltered
south coast. Strong currents can sometimes be experienced
when sailing between coral reefs.

blow from an east to northeasterly direction. During the winter
months, winds blow on average between 15-25 knots (Force 3-6).
Average daily temperatures are between 22-30ºC, temperatures
can, however, rise during the summer months. Evening temperatures
drop slightly but remain warm and comfortable throughout the
