CUBA

[Plankman]

I would like to go to cuba and leave my boat there.
How about long time berthing in Cuba?
Are there dry docks, lifts?

thanks in advance

They changed the law to make that easier. You now have 5 years before needing to pay a negotiable tax. A slip in Hemingway is .50cuc per day and they have a small dry dock. Veradero has a bigger yard and travel lift . Gaviota marina is more expensive but after 30 days you can move to a slip closer to town where it is cheaper. Pay in advance after 20 unpayed days they can begin the process to take ownership.

Does anyone know of an insurance company who will cover boat insurance? The boat is registered in Canada.

I am not familiar with the marinas/docks in Cuba, nor insurance.

However, I am flying there as a graduate student from UC-San Diego next week over spring break. I am interested in checking out the state-provisioned opportunities for investing in tourism in the marine life/boating arena.

I would appreciate any advice, people I can talk to at Marina Hemingway or another part of La Habana, etc. Even better- I want to find someone that will take me out (sailing) while there. Thank you!

I pick my boat up from south Cuba (Ceinfugos) early next month. Ceinfugos has a small marina and a boat yard with travel lift and dry storage. I haven't priced it out, but was told its expensive.

My boat is also Canadian registered. Look for Dophin insurance. They have coverage in Cuba through an underwriter!
