SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 38-foot catamaran sleeps eight across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to split costs on a Caribbean adventure. The layout and capacity punch well above what you'd typically find at this price point.
Well-equipped basics You've got the essentials covered, dual chart plotters, autopilot, dinghy with outboard, and a bimini for shade in the Cuban sun. The galley refrigeration and onboard entertainment keep things comfortable without unnecessary frills.
Excellent value proposition At €2,200 per week, this represents genuinely competitive pricing for a four-cabin catamaran in the Caribbean. Split eight ways, you're looking at pocket-money costs per person for a bareboat adventure.
One realistic note The 2003 build means this boat has real mileage on her, you'll want to do a thorough pre-charter inspection and confirm maintenance records directly with Platten Sailing. The single five-star review is encouraging but a small sample, so chat with the operator about recent refits and mechanical reliability before committing.

The marina & destination
Based at Marlin Marina Cienfuegos, in Cienfuegos, Cuba. LaPerla is operated by Platten Sailing Cuba.
Marlin Marina in Cienfuegos puts you within easy reach of Cuba's southern coast; week one typically involves exploring the Jardines de la Reina archipelago to the south or heading west toward the Canarreos Islands, both offering protected anchorages and excellent snorkeling. The trade winds favour westward passages along this coast, making it straightforward to reach multiple island groups without long open-water passages. As a base, Cienfuegos itself is a working town with good provisioning, though you'll spend most of week one island-hopping rather than lingering in the harbour.
