Cuba - Casa Batida Click Here to Enquire About Tours to Casa Batida Cuba   View the Casa Batida photo gallery:         Arriving in Havana is like stepping back 30 years, the grandeur of the buildings, beautiful old cars, the smells, colours and huge ocean boulevards lends itself to another time. A night in Havana is a must before heading to Cayo Largo, which is only a short 40 minute plane from the City. The flight is spectacular crossing the warm waters of the Caribbean where Hemmingway once floated in an old wooden boat looking for giant fish and writing his famous “Old Man of the Sea.” A short taxi down the only road on the island, takes you to Hotel Sol Club, a stunning resort/hotel situated on the northern side of the Cay, with a white sandy beach in front, huge pools, health retreat, 3 restaurants and bars, and nightly entertainment. This hotel is a huge European destination so expect to see minimum clothing on the beaches! Casa Batida is the only fishing operation out of Cayo Largo, with 50 square miles of sand flats, turtle grass and deep channels, intermixed with tidal mangroves, making it the perfect Tarpon, Snook, Bone-fish and Permit playground. Mauro Ginevri and Fabrizio Barbazza are the fishing managers and greet you each morning at the wharf. With local guides who have special permits to fish these protected waters, Casa Batida is a world class outfit. The Cayo Largo area is entirely catch and release which has protected this fishery for decades ensuring one of the best chances to land the Ultra Grand Slam of all 4 target species in a single day. The Tarpon here are huge with regular shots at 80-100lb fish in 2ft of water. The average Bone Fish is 5/6lb with 12-14lb rounding off the large fish. 25lb Permit are commonly seen, and a good number of Snook hang in and around the mangroves. Jacks, Snapper, Barracuda and Sharks are also on the list for both Fly and Spin fisho’s alike. Being the only fishing operation it is impossible to overcrowd this area, and unless it’s a slow moving sail boat you are not going to see a soul out in this pristine ocean wilderness. For the non-fisher or more relaxed traveler Hotel Sol Club is a fantastic resort to organize sailing excursions, scuba diving and snorkeling, beach combing and private island lunches. Packages include: all accommodation, food at Cayo Largo, open bar, fishing and guides and fly gear. If you want an untouched fishing experience with 5 star accommodation at the end of the day, then Cayo Largo is the perfect destination.
