Cuba Travel Guide
The Hemingway Marina is located at 23 5.35' N and 82 30.5' W, to the west of Havana City in the neighbourhood of Jaimanitas. This marina is ideal for ships of medium size; and it can harbour up to 400 ships of 70 meters in maximum length, with a maximum depth of 4.30 meters. The Hemingway Marina uses the radio frequencies 72 and 16 in VHF.
Operated by the group Cubanacn S.A., this center has the conditions to assimilate in its four channels up to 400 vessels and even facilitate up to 200 of those ships the ultimate conditions for the onboard modality, providing the basic services, such as drinking water, electricity, gas, communications, cable TV and a nautical workshop able to take on all types of vessel repairs.
Among the novelties of the Marina, there is the stay of the so-called mega yachts, vessels of a greater size than the common ships and of a luxury oriented to the maximum comfort of its occupants; such stay being considered by many people as a sign of the acceptance of this facility in the world.
Hemingway Marina is the flagship in the field of the nautical activities and is also the organizer of very important international events, among which appear regattas and fishing tournaments. Among the latter the most well known is the Hemingway Tournament, dedicated to the catching of marlins; an event that increases in foreign participation each year. Another two interesting contests on the agenda are the Blue Marlin- due in September- and the Wahoo in November. This center has also been included as a base for technical scales in the voyages of some international regattas.
The Hemingway Marina complex has shopping malls, a Cohiba (Cigar) House, medical services, naval hardware shops, Cybercafs, drugstores and transportation around the facilities. For those who decide to stay, there are hotels, such as the Aquarius Hotel and the Hemingway Marina Hotel, offering single and double rooms, houses and bungalows. The complex also has a network of restaurants with cuisine ranging from Cuban and international food in Palmares Restaurant to Spanish flavours in Fiesta Bar, to Italian (Pizza Nova) to the Papa's, specialized in seafood.
It is a quiet place, very safe and with lots of privacy; ideal for sea lovers that desire to travel to Havana City.
