Cruise in Cienfuegos

DanielWe were a group of 12 (family) for this bareboat charter. I wasn't sure about the destination as all my previous charters had been in more populated islands of the Caribbean (BVI, Bahamas, Martinique, St-Marteen). I was expecting this navigation area to be quieter and it was. The islands are desert, expect for the 2 lighthouse keepers. Even Cayo Largo was very quiet as we were off season (August). This was perfect for us as we wanted to spend time together, we weren't looking for `'external' entertainment. While we didn't get much wind at this time of the year, the water and navigation area was exceptional. I had never seen such unspoiled reefs, turkoise water and wildlife before. We were lucky enough to run into a group of 20+ dolphins that swam along the boat for nearly 20 minutes, we encountered a great diversity of marine animals including a whale shark, a manta ray and countless species of fishes. The boat was impeccable, everything was working as it should. The technical briefing I received at the base was the more complete I ever received. I wish all of this info could be put in writing as there is a lot to remember when taking command of a new boat. However, the service was exceptional. When we had a problem with the water maker and the generator, we were given rapid and detailed instructions to get it back online. We did appreciate the AC overnight ! Be advise a lot of cash (Euros) is required, credit card are not accepted anywhere. Even the base requires for everything to be paid in cash. Over all, we had a amazing week. I would strongly recommend this destination if you are looking for a quiet place to sail, reconnect with nature and just enjoy the beauty of Cuban waters. The service we received from GlobeSailor was impeccable and the same applies to the base team

RiikkaWe had a great time with our fantastic captain Carlos. He was not just a captain but a fisherman and diver and really gave extra to our experience
