Trip Overview

This new fly fishing destination is located just a 112 miles from the city of La Havana. It’s part of the National Park of Cienaga de Zapata of Matanzas Province in Cuba, named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2000. Since October 2015, the fishing area of Zapata belongs to an exclusive operation, therefore there fishng is regulated to avoid pressure on the zone.
The area is surrounded by uncountable flats, hosting as main species the bonefish, permit and tarpon.
To make the most of this pristine fishing area, the program is set to live on board a yacht, which gives the anglers the flexibility to be in the water for most part of the day discarding the long transfer rides to and from the fishing areas.
The yacht will be located in the east side of the Canarreos, with 10 different fishing areas, all distributed in designed rotation system to have all anglers fish the different areas and avoid spooky fish due to repetition.
