For those seeking a charter experience filled with unique discoveries in a less-traveled Caribbean setting, Cuba is an ideal choice. This place will offer a unique stop on a broader itinerary or a dedicated journey through its own waters. This diverse cruising ground is perfect for those craving some break from busy coastal spots.

With over 4,000 islands and cays surrounding Cuba’s main island, there’s no shortage of white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests to explore. Cuba has a long history of agriculture, and this is evident in the verdant plains and valleys found inland. As a sanctuary for endangered species, this one-of-a-kind ecosystem is a real treat for ecotourists. Cuba is also home to a thriving coral garden that is part of the world's largest coral reef system which divers onboard can truly enjoy. As night falls, the country comes alive with salsa music, great dining options, and iconic cigar lounges, bringing out the unmistakable Cuban vibe.

Cienfuegos often serves as a gateway to explore Cuba's southern coast, and it's usually the starting point of most yacht charter vacations. You can set sail to Cayo Guano, Cayo Sal, and Cayo Largo, where you'll encounter white sandy beaches lined with coconut palms, colorful coral reefs, and marine life.

The capital city, Havana, is where Cuba's culture and past come together. Havana is often called "the Paris of the Caribbean", this place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that still has buildings from the Spanish colonial era to the Art Deco era. As the biggest city and transportation hub in the country, it has a lively mix of old-world charm and busy streets where classic American cars drive by.

Located in the province of Matanzas near Havana, Varadero ranks as one of Cuba's most prominent resorts, drawing visitors with its wide, white-sand beaches and abundant entertainment options. Originally a Spanish port, Varadero began its transformation into a resort destination in the 1920s. Today, it combines a variety of leisure activities with stunning coastlines where you can enjoy your yacht's water toys.

Another must-visit is Trinidad, one of Cuba's oldest cities, which was founded in 1514 by the Spanish colonist Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar. Renowned for its well-preserved architecture, it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and thrived during the popularity of the sugar cane trade. The story of a wealthy past is told through its historic buildings, while nearby Playa Ancon provides a lovely beach escape with clear waters and scenic views best enjoyed aboard your superyacht.

Cuba’s cruising grounds reach all the way up to the stunning Jardines del Rey archipelago, a 200-mile chain of cays.
