Our base in Cienfuegos offers all the services of a modern marina as a base for your sailing trip, but also the liveliness of a normal Cuban city, a hinterland with a varied offer in culture and nature, but without the seclusion of a "tourist ghetto". La Perla del Sur, the pearl of the south, this nickname carries the city quite rightly. The location on a ten nautical miles deep, highly articulated bay with a few hundred meters wide driveway makes Cienfuegos an important port. The trading port - above all sugar is exported from here and imported oil - is second only to Havana. Nevertheless, the city retains the beauty of its unique location and a rich architectural heritage, especially from the 19th century. The Teatro Tomás Terry, where Caruso has already performed, and the Palacio de Valle, villa of a turn-of-the-century Mudejar industrialist that is accessible to everyone as a restaurant, are among Cuba's most famous architectural monuments.
Since July 2005, the historic center of Cienfuegos around the Parque Martí has been included in the list of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO as an excellently preserved example of a 19th century colonial town.

Cuba is still the most untouched and least developed sailing area in the Caribbean. Here you can still find secluded beaches, uninhabited islands and untouched coral reefs. Lonely bays where you can simply spend nights or days without meeting other tourists.
In Cuba there were less than 15 charter sailing yachts in total at the beginning of 2024. All of these sailing yachts are based in Cienfuegos on the south coast of the island.
The best sailing area can be found on the south coast between the Isla de Juvendud (Island of Youth) and the Jardines de la Reina (Queen's Gardens).
The only marina in Cuba where you can charter a bareboat yacht is Cienfuegos.
