SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 14-metre Lagoon catamaran sleeps 10 across 6 cabins, making it ideal for extended families or friend groups wanting to explore Cuba together without splitting costs across multiple boats. The beam and flybridge layout give everyone plenty of space to avoid feeling cramped on a shared charter.
Well-equipped modern cat You're getting genuinely useful kit here, water maker and ice maker mean you're self-sufficient in remote anchorages, while the generator, air conditioning, and electric toilets ensure comfort on longer passages. The flybridge is a real bonus for Caribbean cruising, offering shade and a social hub without constantly retreating below deck.
Strong value proposition At €5,600 weekly for a 6-cabin boat, you're paying roughly €560 per person if you fill all berths, genuinely competitive for the Caribbean, especially with a water maker on board that cuts your reliance on shore facilities. The 2017 build age keeps systems modern without premium pricing.
Single review caveat Only one 5-star rating exists, so it's hard to validate consistency or get a sense of potential issues; ask the operator directly about recent guest feedback and their maintenance schedule before committing. Cuba itself requires navigational caution and weather awareness, this isn't a leisurely bareboat destination, so ensure your skipper has local knowledge or book with a professional crew.

The marina & destination
Based at Marlin Marina Cienfuegos, in Cienfuegos, Cuba. Mariano 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.
