This paper describes the boating geography of Cuba, The evolution of recreational boating in preRevolutionary Cuba is traced. Physical and infrastructural conditions that determine the island's marine recreational geography are discussed. Nine boating regions are identified and described, in terms of area, coastal topography, shoreline, water depth, currents, entrance channels, anchorages, shore facilities, boating activities, and hazards to navigation. Boating facilities in Cuba are compared with other Caribbean countries and south Florida, in terms of growth over the past 40 years. Development trends in marinas and yacht clubs, boat yards, and other boating facilities, as charter boating, are analyzed. Finally, the dilemmas and opportunities facing boaters in search of discovering Cuba are highlighted. |
