Cuba Libre Sailboat Cruise

4.5/5
518 reviews

Sailing the Cuba Libre is a sweet sensation. This single-mast yacht sails out of Santa Maria in southern Sal and specialises in all the ‘ings' – sailing, relaxing, sunbathing, snorkelling, swimming and even fishing. This is what being on holidays is all about – pure, unadulterated fun.

You'll be picked up at your hotel and transferred to Santa Maria pier. Board the Cuba Libre, and live the dream. Your crew will attend to your needs and get the show on the road. These guys aren't just good at their job – they're great fun to be around.

Once you're in the open sea, you're in God's playground. With luck, you'll spot flying fish and turtles. And if you don't, there's always the snorkelling and swimming – crewmembers have their favourite spots for both activities such as Monte Leao. Cruises are available as either half-day – morning or afternoon – or full day.

    Jones family got picked up instead of my family. Waited for an HR and was questioned if We were there on time for pick up.😂😂. Worst thing about it ....the Jones family got took to the wrong excursion 😂!!. Jones family had a bus tour booked not a boat trip...Also they had 3: adults and a baby. We paid for 4 x adults. So not good to be honest. Apparently they are ' able' to give me a refund 😔. At least. This is on top of been diverted to last palmas with TUI knowing there was an issue on way

    I found getting in the dinghy and onto the boat difficult the same coming back. The boat staff and passengers were all10/10. A most enjoyable experience, thanks, Dave.

    Overall, a very enjoyable experience. Only one small issue - the bus from the hotel took us to a place expecting to meet the boat which was not there. The bus the took us to find the boat elsewhere loosing some sailing time. Also, at the end of the sailing, the bus were told to meet at the place where we were left was not there to pick us up. After a while, alternative taxi transport was arranged to return us to the hotel..

    Staff were very kind and helpful, funny and entertaining. Really looked after us all, ensuring that everyone had a good time and was safe. We got to see a turtle, some flying fish and a pod of 9 dolphins! Would recommend this trip for all age groups.

    This was a really good morning. We were picked up on time, ferried out to the yacht from a small harbour. Underway quickly, and bar open straight away. Saw a large pod of dolphins which stayed close to the boat for around 30 minutes. There was quite a mix on board, a family from Finland, a Dutch lady, and her Italian friend plus my wife and me from the UK. A really enjoyable time made by the 2 crew who were great and informative.
