Cuba is the 8th largest archipelago in the world

The big island, Cuba, is 777 miles long, 119 miles at its widest point and 19 miles at its most narrow

The small island, Isla de La Juventud (Isle of Youth) is home to Punta Frances National Marine Park with 56 charted dive spots in a marine protected area

Four minor archipelagos along the north and south coasts, offer deserted islands with pristine beaches and small marinas on the north, and some of the best diving and adventures in nature imaginable on the south, including Gardens of the Queen Marine Reserve and Maria La Gorda International Dive Center

We recommend 3 of the 4 archipelagos for superyacht exploration due to depth limitations and limited safe anchorages

Cuba is home to 9 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, four mountain ranges, endless rivers and waterfalls in breathtaking nature and 15 provinces with their own unique history and culture in the cities and towns 

Over 30% of all the coral in the Caribbean Basin is in Cuban waters, mostly untouched and pristine, and scuba diving is available around the entire island and the four minor archipelagos

Cuba is also a favorite destination for fly fishing and deep-sea fishing and hosts two major fishing tournaments annually.

Cuba offers the best scuba diving in the world in the largest and most protected coral reefs in America with Gardens of the Queen National Park, Maria La Gorda International Dive Center, the Canarreos and Gardens of the King Archipelagos, shipwrecks dating to the Spanish galleons, and thousands of uninhabited islands and islets teaming with life. The main island of Cuba is home to nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites; four mountain ranges with waterfalls, rivers and hiking trails, and cities with over 500 years cultural and history offering experiences that embrace the rich diversity of the island nation.

What The Captains Say

"After many postponements and changes from our side, we finally arrived in Havana. Maria and assistants were on hand for our arrival and made the clearance into Cuba an uncomplicated affair. If you are intimidated by a trip to this wonderful country there is no need to be with a company like this in your corner."
Captain Grant Maughan
"Our trip was made possible by Maria Romeu, who took care of all of the formalities and logistics for us. She also developed an itinerary for us, based on our specific requests for activities and destinations. We entered Cuba in Santiago and departed from Havana. She is well connected and knows the system well. Cuba is a proper expedition destination without the long travel to get there."
Captain Raymond Heer
"I’d like to highlight Maria Romeu, the person on the ground who went above and beyond and certainly the backbone of the company. No task was too small or big and having been in the superyacht industry herself, she have an acute and in depth understanding of owner and guest needs, no matter how varied or demanding, she will make it happen."
Fleet Captain Jako Hall
"I cannot recommend Maria's service enough. I look forward to taking my current yacht and future yachts there under her care. My high-profile client was just delighted with all the activities that were presented. Dinners out were perfect, and special activities were endless. Check in and check out was flawless."
Captain Tony DeFore
"Maria did a superb job of navigating us through the onerous regulatory environment and our trip was absolutely trouble free. I would recommend her to any of my peers who may be considering a trip to Cuba."
Captain Bob Kercher
