Sailing Cuba to the Bahamas
Last-Minute Spot Available – Leg 4: Cuba → Bahamas (April 11 – May 9, 2026)
Cienfuegos, Cuba → Nassau, Bahamas
We’ve just had a cancellation and now have one bunk available for this unique and adventurous leg aboard our 56ft Formosa ketch, SY Seafinn.
This is not a charter. It’s a shared-cost, hands-on expedition with a small, motivated crew.
The Route
Sail along Cuba’s beautiful and less-traveled southern coast
Experience authentic Cuban culture and historic port towns
Make a proper open-water crossing to the Bahamas
Finish in the turquoise waters of Nassau
This leg offers a great mix of:
Coastal sailing
A real offshore passage
Watch systems day & night
Navigation and weather planning
Expedition-style teamwork
If you’re looking to build real sailing experience in warm waters with a strong crew dynamic, this is a fantastic opportunity.
Life Onboard
8 people total including us
Everyone is active crew (watches, helm, sails, cooking, cleaning)
English is the working language
Positive attitude and team spirit are essential
Experience is welcome, but mindset matters more than miles.
If you’re interested, send us:
Your sailing experience
Your availability
A bit about yourself
We’ll then set up a short video call to see if it’s a good fit on both sides.
Fair winds,
Fredrik & Rebekka

Life changing experience
Rebekka and Fred were amazing captains, willing to teach you all there is to know about sailing and allow you to help and learn. I arrived in Dublin and from the first minute felt welcome and was surrounded by the most incredible crew, which made the journey even better. The people I met, places I saw and the experience of being totally away from my usual London (rat race!) life taught me to slow down a bit and take stock of what is truly important in life. Without this journey, I wouldn't be in the great place I am now, thank you both so much! Anyone who gets the chance to sail with these two should snap it up and enjoy what they have to offer. Much love <3
