Your Guide to Cuba
YOUR GUIDE TO CUBA
Cuba moves at its own pace. Shimmies to its own rhythm. Few can match its passionate colonial centres: the hubbub of Havana, timeless Trinidad, stirring Cienfuegos. With a Cuba yacht charter, you can discover deserted beaches, or the rare black sands of Playa Bibijagua. Explore the pristine reefs of Jardines de la Reina. Then snorkel among the nurse sharks, barracudas and schools of brightly-coloured fish who are in no rush at all. Need more reasons to charter a Cuba yacht? Here are three.
Your Guide to Cuba
Sultry. Steamy. Wildly idiosyncratic. Cuba’s capital city is a must. Think wonderfully restored colonial architecture. Sunsets over the Malecón. Colourful old American cars lined-up at Parque de la Fraternidad. Havana is a feast for the senses. Sink daiquiris in the Bodeguita del Medio like Hemingway. Show off your snake hips at the sensuous El Tropical. Or simply moor in the harbour and take it all in from the back deck. However you Havana, it will hypnotise.
Your Guide to Cuba
This is it. The daddy of diving in Cuba. This remote cenote on the east coast is an unforgettable experience. Known as Los Tanques Azules – The Blue Tanks – this remarkable underwater cave system goes back nearly 3km. Y.CO can supply the gear you’ll need for a guided dive between the stalagmites and stalactites, just don’t forget your underwater camera. The cyan-glow of the clear water is something you will treasure forever.
Your Guide to Cuba
This eastern beach near Banes is why you charter a yacht. Little more than a fishing village, Playa de Morales offers the Cuba everyone wants to see: soft, sugar-coloured bands, a sparkling ocean. Little else. There’s complete and utter silence save for the crashing waves. Moore here and it’ll be you, your Y.CO crew and a maybe a couple of hardy fisherfolk. Experience it before the developers twig on.
REASONS TO VISIT
Luxury has found its way to Havana too, with opulent spa hotels, fine restaurants, and rooftop bars with infinity pools offering pampering and indulgence after a day exploring all the vibrant art, architecture and music.
Cuba is the ideal destination in which to witness exotic wildlife in its natural environment. In the south, the Cienaga des Zapata National Park has won World-Heritage status for its incredible range of endemic species, while Cuba’s barrier reef - the world’s third largest - is known as ‘the Galapagos of the Caribbean’.
