Life on a sailing voyage
On a sailing voyage we never use the word itinerary, as skippers will always be aiming for the best sailing and shore landings for the forecast and most idyllic or sheltered anchors and ports. They are as keen as you to include some of the highlights describe, but you have to go with Mother Nature, not fight her. The description below is based on what we think might be possible, based on past trips, or experience, but nothing is guaranteed on a sailing voyage. If the following voyage description is not fulfilled for any reason, Maybe Sailing and Maybe Sailing Youth Initiative cannot be held responsible.
A trip for the enthusiast sailors in warm regions!
Immerse yourself in the ocean swell, let everything just go and enjoy the skies, ocean life, the peaceful atmosphere and pleasant company.
We begin in Havana, Cuba and set sail for the Bahamas, with plenty of time to explore this beautiful area of the Caribbean.
The Bahaman chain consists of 700 islands and 2000 smaller sandy cays extending for some 750 miles from South East of Florida to Cuba. The combination of deep oceanic trenches and shallow seas around the islands creates a mecca for divers. They come seeking large wildlife encounters with dolphins, barracuda and sharks in crystal clear visability (regularly down to 100ft or 30m) but you don’t have to be a diver to enjoy them. The Bahamas Banks contain approximately 5 percent of the worlds coral reefs and the crystal clear visibility over white sand bottom means you may see sharks, dolphins and turtles from the ships deck without getting wet.
After a few relaxing days in the Bahamas we make the 1000 mile journey to Bermuda, experiencing life at sea, and nights of star fillled wonder.
Bermuda is only 21 square miles but comprises of 181 named islands sitting way out in the Atlantic, hundreds of miles from the USA and several thousand from the UK. An elegant destination of perfect sandy beaches palms and colonial old world charm Bermuda is decidedly British compared with the Bahamas. The beautiful colonial town of St George’s is sure to entice you, with it’s waterside bars and restaurants. Don’t forget to try a Rum Swizzle or a Dark and Stormy, the famous Bermudan cocktails.

There’s no public bus (viazul or other) service to/from the International Terminal (3).
The best way to get from Havana to Havana airport is in taxi. In fact, this is pretty much the only way – as yet there are no official buses running to the airport from the city.
