Cuba by Sea: What to Know Before You Go

Few destinations capture the imagination quite like Cuba. Just south of the Keys, it remains one of the Caribbean's great cruising frontiers — a coast of historic harbors, colonial cities, and cays that look much as they did a century ago.

A coast worth the crossing

Marina Hemingway, just west of Havana, has welcomed visiting yachts for generations and makes a natural gateway to the capital. To the south lies the Jardines de la Reina — the "Gardens of the Queen" — a vast, protected archipelago of mangrove cays and untouched reef.

Ashore, Havana is unforgettable: vintage cars, live music spilling into the streets, and architecture that rewards an afternoon of wandering.
