Cuba Libre Sailboat Cruise

4.6/5
80 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.

    Our booking was changed last minute due to sickness which couldn’t be helped but very well organised. Due to the lack of a pier the loading and loading of passengers into inflatable boats on the beach with a huge shore dump was extremely dangerous how anyone didn’t get hurt was beyond me. We also watched other people getting on and off really not safe to do so, people getting pushed off and falling if it was someone older or with any mobility issues it would have been carnage!!!

    This was a highlight for my wife. The 2 crew were very friendly & clearly very knowledgeable & experienced sailors. We felt very comfortable & safe with them. Service was great with snacks and drinks without any pressure. There were 4 guests on the boat and it felt very friendly and perfect for small groups. There's still something magical about sailboats and this experience added to the magic.

    A great trip. Crew were attentive and handled the boat well. The great thing about this trip is that it uses a 'real' boat so the sailing experience is great and by nature of the size of the boat you don't need to share with many others. Highly recommended. My only advice would be to be aware that you need to climb from a Zodiac to the boat at anchor. Plenty of help available but probably not idea if you are not fully mobile.

Need a hand?

Would you like some help making a booking? Or perhaps you just want to ask a few questions. Whatever the reason, don't hesitate to get in touch.
