The european yacht charter Cuba crews, which in comparison to their US american sailor friends that paradise is not detained, mostly land in Havanna, the cultural and economic centre of the biggest caribbean islands and one of the last communistic states in the world (Condor offers flights in the more eastern situated Varadero).

In how far the political development in yacht charter Cuba will lead to another opening (and surely a touristic invasion) is hard to predict. Sure is, that yacht charter Cuba is absolutely a must for the yacht charter Cuba crews, which are looking for the special sailing experience.

Dreamy lonely beaches and bays, not ending coralreefs, a coloured flora and fauna over and under the sea level, secret mangrove marshes and friendly people await the yacht charter cuba crew on their course along the southwestcoast and the upstream archipelagos on their yacht charter Cuba cruise.

The oldtown of Havanna, which is protected as UNESCO cultural heritage, the yacht charter Cuba crew should not miss to visit, like in general recommended to make a several days lasting gangway after or before the one or two-week yacht charter Cuba cruise at the southwest-coast of yacht charter Cuba.

Havanna was founded in the beginning of the 16th century and was for a long time one of the most important ports in the caribbean. From the fortress Morro the yacht charter Cuba crew can enjoy a wonderful view to the city Havanna.

A stay in Havanna should also include a visit in the legendary Hemingway Bar La Bodeguita Del Medio, because the often mailing yacht charter Cuba crew will find many of that franchise bars in marinas all over the world.

On the slide and many kilometres long Malecòn, a wide street at the sea, the local popularity meets for strolling.

In the revolution museum, in the ancient presidential palace also the Granma of the yacht charter Cuba crew is to be visited, the yacht on which Fidel Castro and his friends went back home to yacht charter Cuba in 1956. The setting of Havanna`s glory buildings impresses every yacht charter Cuba crew and is surely unique in the Caribbean, unfortunately alos the state of these buildings.

In a much better condition are the colourful Cadillacs and Chevys, which also originate from pre- revolutionary times.

The Canarreos are an islandchain developed by coralreefs, southwestern of Cienfuegos. Next to the far west situated Isla de Juventud is the Cayo Largo, the secondbiggest station for a yacht charter Cuba cruise.

Cayo largo is the centre for diving sports in the archipelago of the Canarreos and also for other civilization necessarities like supplies addition and possible smaller reparations on the charter yacht is the Cayo Largo with its small airport as an important destination.

The northcoast of the island is partly grown with dense mangroveforests. The reef, the exterior reefborder and some nice derelict await the diving fans among the yacht charter Cuba crew.

Other stations on the yacht charter Cuba cruise through the Golf of Batabanò in direction Isla de Juventud are the islands Cayo Guano del Este (east of Cayo Largo, nice for anchoring at the lighthouse) as well as western Cayo del Rosario, Cayo Cantiles, Cayo Campos and Cayo Matias. On the island of the youth, Isla de la Juventud, on the western part the yacht charter Cuba marina Siguanea is located, named after the name the Caribbean aboriginies gave to the island, as well as futher north the administrationplace Nueva Gerona between the mountains Caballos and Casas.

To the times of the pirates in the 16th and 18th century the island was named Parrot Island. Under the regime of the batista it served as a prison island, the ruins of the prison Presidio Modelo, that seem like an arena, shows the cruelty of the ancient powers. After the cuban revolution the island was named into island of the Routh, which often came to the island for working and learning.

Another nice possibility for a yacht charter Cuba mailing cruise offers the southeastern route from Cienfuegos to the yacht charter Cuba crew. The best station is the wonderful Caribbean city Trinidad, 15 seamiles southeast along the coast.

Trinidad has been in the last centuries a centre for the sugar trade. The ancient wealth of the city is shown during a gangway, when the yacht charter Cuba crew passes by the impressive Plaza Mayor. Many sightseeings invite the yacht charter Cuba crew for a visit, e.g. the church of the holy Anna, the Brunet palace, the palace of Sanchez Iznaga or the Trova house and the Canchánchara.

After Trinidad the next stop is the archipelago and the nature protected park Jardines de la Reina. Nearly 660 coral islands and -reefs wait for the (diving interested) yacht charter Cuba crew.

For a combined yacht charter Cuba - diving - cruise Jardines de la Reina den Canarreos is definetely recommended.

At the moment we offer you a yacht charter Cuba cruise starting at marinas in the southwest of yacht charter Cuba, both are situated in the portcity Cienfuegos (please look for more details in the article). The yacht charter Cuba provider from Cienfuegos offer a transfer for the yacht charter Cuba crew for the nearly 250km long journey from Havanna.

The climate is subtropical, the wind blows from eastern direction with 3 beaufort. During the wintermonths, due to the movements of the trade winds, southeastern winds can occure. December to May are the dry months on yacht charter Cuba, but in general barely shaky wind-and temperature- relations make yacht charter Cuba to a yearly sailed district. In July/ August it can get insufferable hot.

Yacht charter Cuba crews, that want to buy seamaps, the maps of the Instituto Cubano de Hidrografia are recommended. These also can be bought in Europe, who stays befote some time in Havanna can achieve them there cheaper (at El Navegante in the oldtown, Calle Mercaderes 115, about EUR 50.-). For the yacht charter Cuba cruise planning, besides the classic „Yachtman's Guide to the Kuba“, the in September 2007 new puplished book by Bernhard Bartholmes “Coast pocketguide Cuba. The south with Havanna” recommended from the edition maritim.

Electricity and supplies for the yacht charter Cuba crew are, due to the weatherconditions in yacht charter Cuba, not always easy to get. The importo f industrial packed food is permitted. The yacht charter Cuba provider are very helpful, a supply pre order is hardly recommended to the yacht charter Cuba crew, although not always everything is available.

Another way is the blackmarket. A bit of asking mainly leads you to the right contacts. The Cubans are in many things very creative and one another help is a main principle on the island. A well equiped board farmacy makes many inhabitants very happy.

GPS materials are not permitted to take. You are not allowed to leave the 12 miles-zone and local persons on board, like e.g. skipper, cooks or diving guides have to be official authorized. The yacht charter Cuba provider is very helpful with that.
