A few years ago it was unimaginable that the people who live in the Peninsula de Zapata marshland would one day no longer use the forest for the production of charcoal, the extraction of precious wood, or the hunt for crocodiles and deer. Only 9,300 people live in the 4,322 square kilometer Ciénaga de Zapata. The wealth of this area lies in its extensive forests, large swamps and fascinating wildlife. In 2000, UNESCO declared these wetlands in western Cuba a biosphere reserve.

It is one of the wetlands of international importance. You will fish all of the water surrounding this sanctuary during your week. The luxury yacht Georgiana is your home for the week and the big advantage is that you live directly on the flat and long journeys are not necessary.

So you can concentrate fully on fishing in the most important zones and make effective use of the right tides. The skiff rotation is organized so that you can fish for 3 days in a single skiff with a guide and 3 days in a double skiff with a guide. On the flats you will fish from a single flat skiff so you can fish bonefish and permit effectively. Dolphin double skiffs will take you to the most promising spots for tarpon fishing. The food on the Georgiana is simple but very good.

Much fresh fish is used, salads, fresh vegetables and a variety of fruits are always available. Excellent starters with pork and chicken, fresh sashimi pizza and Italian-style pizza complete the culinary offer and some of the best daiquiris, cuba libre and mojitos make the afternoons and nights an experience. Because of the 10 fishing zones, which are fished in one rotation, the fishing pressure is minimized and the fishing opportunities increase significantly. This is a destination that you should take a closer look at.
