Cuba
In 2000, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) declared the wetlands encompassing the Zapata Peninsula and surrounding area a biosphere reserve. This conservation habitat is now the largest protected region in Cuba and in fact the Caribbean, resulting in an unprecedented fishery and wildlife experience.
As a result of this restricted access, these vast shallow hard sand flats, lagoons, and creeks – similar to our everglades - offer literally thousands of square miles to just eight (8) anglers per week targeting juvenile tarpon, snook, bonefish, permit and a plethora of other Caribbean flats species.
This is our maiden Frontiers departure on the Georgiana, however, we are bending the rules a bit. April 1-8, 2023 will be exclusive to just five (5) Frontiers anglers, offering room to spread out in five (5) private en suite bedrooms. Enhancing this excursion is Frontiers’ own, Ben Hoffman, who will be hosting. He will be accompanied by professional photographer and videographer, Nick Swingle, to record an adventure full of fish-story memories that will last a lifetime.
We sincerely hope you will join us and look forward to embarking on this journey together. For more information, please review the trip flyer or contact Ben Hoffman.
Explore the Zapata National Park on the Georgiana, the 100-foot liveaboard ship, featuring 6 rooms with private en suite bathrooms for eight anglers per week. You will fish three days as a single angler in a shallow hulled skiff that can take you into the mangroves where you have the option to get out of the boat and wade the creeks and channels looking for bonefish, snook, and permit. The other days you will fish with another angler and work the beaches in deeper water spotting tarpon and permit. This variety makes Zapata a special experience.
