TIMING THE TIDES FOR UN UNFORGETTABLE SALTWATER EXPERIENCE
The key to a successful saltwater fly fishing trip lies in fishing the tides. Since you’ll be staying on the flats throughout the week, you can strategically choose your fishing spots based on the species you’re targeting. For instance, it’s well-known that an incoming tide is ideal for spotting bonefish as they push into the flats.
We focus on zone management and skiff rotation to maximize your experience. You’ll enjoy three days fishing with a single skiff and guide, and three days with a double skiff and guide. This ensures you have access to the prime areas within our extensive fishing zone.
For shallow water flats, you’ll fish from a flat-bottom single skiff, perfect for reaching the best spots for bonefish and permit. With our dolphin double skiff, you can explore the optimal waters for tarpon and navigate deeper waters further from the yacht.
LUXURY AND ADVENTURE IN THE ZAPATA PENINSULA
The Georgiana Yacht is a 100-foot luxury vessel meticulously constructed and designed for outdoor adventures. With spacious and comfortable cabins, each featuring a private bathroom, this exclusive yacht is your home for week-long trips within the pristine Marine Park of the Zapata Peninsula.
The cuisine aboard Georgiana is a delightful blend of gourmet simplicity. Freshly caught fish of the day forms the centerpiece of many meals, complemented by crisp salads made from fresh vegetables and a variety of fruits. Throughout the week, you’ll also enjoy succulent pork and chicken entrees, fresh sashimi, and Italian-style pizzas as appetizers. To enhance your dining experience, our skilled bartenders prepare some of the finest frozen Daiquiris, Cuba Libres, and Mojitos, ensuring that your afternoons and evenings are filled with culinary pleasure.
When it comes to fishing, the Georgiana Yacht is ideally positioned in our exclusive fishing zone. After extensive research, we’ve designated six distinct fishing areas and implemented a rotation system, similar to those used in other premier Cuban destinations. This system minimizes fishing pressure on each area, resulting in non-spooky fish and significantly increasing your chances of success. Our guides are extensively trained in this method, and we continue to refine our approach to ensure an unparalleled fishing experience. We began welcoming guests in 2016, offering a unique blend of luxury and world-class fishing.
