A one-week catamaran charter with Platten Sailing Cuba departs from Marina Marlin in Cienfuegos, sailing roughly 100 nautical miles west-southwest on the first leg to Cayo Tablones — the longest single passage of the trip — before working back east through the Cayos in shorter daily hops.8:13 The local skipper Santiago navigates the route, which includes stops at Cayo Campos, Cayo Lago, and Playa Serena.10:25 Route planning uses Navionics and paper charts with waypoints set before each leg.8:21 Provisioning requires advance planning: Platten Sailing Cuba offers a pre-order list, Cienfuegos holds a weekly market, and Cayo Lago has a small marina with a bakery and limited supermarket, though stock is unreliable.14:21 Cuba is cash-only — ATMs are not a viable option — and two exchange rates circulate.4:15 Cayo Lago also has a hospital, the only reliable medical facility in the area.14:21 A masthead navigation light fails mid-passage and is repaired by climbing to the masthead; Platten Sailing Cuba carries spare parts aboard.18:46 The transfer from Havana to Cienfuegos takes about four hours and can be arranged through the charter company.3:03 An E-Bike tour in Havana with Q-Bike (qbike.com), run by a guide named Martin, is recommended as a pre-charter add-on, with all café stops and entry fees included in the price.1:07
