Bob Dylan is famous for his song “The Times They Are a-Changing,” and for no country is this statement more appropriate than the Caribbean Island of Cuba<\/a><\/strong>. The changing political scene with the Americans and Cuban governments agreeing to re-establish ties, following their severance more than half a century ago, means that now is the time to visit before one of the last vestiges of communism is changed\u00a0irrevocably.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Located between the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, just 90 miles from Key West, Florida, Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean. Described by Christopher Columbus as “the most beautiful land one has ever seen,” it’s easy to see why. Cuba has a stunning variety of landscapes, mountains, agricultural valleys and endless sandy beaches that make it\u00a0a fascinating destination for sailors and visitors alike.<\/p>\n

Head to Cienfuegos, one of Cuba’s largest and most prosperous cities to pick up your yacht. Known as the Perla del Sur (Pearl of the South), Cienfuegos is arranged around the country’s most spectacular natural bay, a nautical city with a\u00a0beautiful waterside setting. Founded in 1819, it is one of Cuba’s newest settlements but one of its most beautiful becoming a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2005.<\/p>\n

With a warm climate all year round, steady winds and unique natural beauty, the island also benefits from a reliable nautical infrastructure. There are about 20 marinas and nautical centers all around Cuba, gladly welcoming yachts and offering all conceivable services. The whole coast and off-lying islands are fully accessible meaning there is no shortage of new and exciting places to explore.<\/p>\n
