NEW CUBA DATES for 2024!
I have sold out all spots on my hosted trips to Cuba in 2024. With people asking, I have just secured and added 2 additional weeks later in the year. Please reach out with any questions if you are interested. I would love to have you along!
GARDENS OF THE QUEEN - ABOARD AVALON IV YACHT
Gardens of the Queen is the most famous of the fishing areas in Cuba. With over 100 miles of island habitat to fish, and with strict protections in place, this is one of the best preserved marine habitats on the planet. All species of flats fish live here, and we will spend our days pursuing resident Tarpon, Permit, and Bonefish. There are also many Cuda, Jacks, Snappers and Grouper that are really fun to pursue.
The Avalon Fleet IV is a big boat, and very comfortable. The staff aboard the boat is attentive and friendly, mixing rum drinks at your request, and serving excellent food. Rooms all have a/c and their own showers and bathrooms with nearly unlimited fresh water.
DATES: NOVEMBER 16-23, 2024 (Thanksgiving is November 28th FYI)
PRICE: $5495 pp Double Occupancy Cabin & Skiff (includes transport to and from the boat from Camaguey, room & board, $300 Conservation fee, 5.5 days guided fishing)
COMBINATION CULTURE & FISHING TRIP - 9 DAYS
As I often tell people, this is still my favorite trip of all those that I do in Cuba. I love introducing people to life on this island, and to the many beautiful people I have met there. This is an ideal trip for couples in that during the days while one is fishing, the other will be exploring the Cuban countryside. This is also a customizable trip, although I believe the itinerary I have put together is just about perfect.
I need a minimum of 8 people to join, and will cap the maximum size at 12.
Our Itinerary Will Include the Following:
The town of Vinales, west of Havana. Known for its beauty, and for growing the best of Cuba’s tobacco, we will visit farms and learn about life in this small rural community
Havana: Cuba’s capital is fascinating, both for history and the current way of life. We will be busy in Havana, taking guided tours, visiting schools, dance academies,& great restaurants. We will also be entertained by some of the music that has made Cuba famous.
After Havana, we venture to the small town of Playa Larga on the Bay if Pigs. From here, anglers will fish the Rio Hatiguanico, as well as the saltwater flats of the Zapata Peninsula
During the fishing days, I will take non-anglers to the beautiful town of Trinidad, and hike in the rain-forest nearby. Other days, we will birdwatch, snorkel, and enjoy the beach at Playa Larga.
