Luxury Cuba Yacht Charter
Luxury yacht charter in Cuba
A luxury yacht charter in Cuba offers a warm climate, a relaxed yet vibrant Latin-American culture and stunning beauty. Despite being less than 100 miles from the coast of Florida, Cuba is a world away.
Your charter will take in the most beautiful parts of this stunning island allowing you to explore both inland and on the shores. From stunning beaches and scenery to the colourful buildings and 1950s cars on the streets, you will fall in love with this charter destination.
No yacht charter in Cuba would be complete without exploring the surrounding seas. Avoid the tourist trap dive spots thanks to your experienced crew and explore under the waves in solitude. Prime diving spots include Jardines de la Reina (Gardens of the Queen) Marine Reserve which is heavily regulated and pristine, Cayo Largo is ideal for rays, sharks and barracuda, and Cayo Coco is perfect for exploring an entire, pristine reef system.
Cuba’s southern coast benefits from largely calmer seas and is the ideal place to drop anchor and head ashore for some rest and relaxation. Islas de Mangles, Cayos Alacranes and Caya Grande all offer fantastic seclusion in beautiful surroundings on your Cuba yacht charter. Cayo Estopa is a particular highlight for snorkelling.
Like all the Caribbean, a luxury yacht charter in Cuba is to experience some of the best seafood on offer anywhere in the world. Whether it’s in the restaurants of vintage-postcard Havana, Varadero or Trinidad, the beachfront shacks that appear all over the country or cooked up on your charter yacht by talented onboard chefs, there’s great seafood everywhere.
