YOUR GUIDE TO CUBA
BEYOND BEACHES
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
Havana
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
Los Tanques Azules
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
Playa de Morales
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.
