South Ana Maria
New Cuban Fishing Centers Destination
South Ana Maria is the eighth Avalon destination. We plan to offer this
new endeavour as a fishing alternative for those looking to broaden
their angling horizons, while discovering a completely unpressured natural
marine environment for salt water fish.
The area is completely untouched and is part of the marine park that
is already protected by the Cuban Ministry of Fishing, and exclusively
maintained and chartered by Avalon. Commercial fishing is strictly prohibited,
which allows for infinite sport fishing potential. Species found in
this area are: tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook, jack crevalle, snapper,
large and aggressive barracuda as well as several other powerful species.
Avalon’s goal is to offer another destination to unexplored, virgin
waters, as we once did in other areas now well known and protected in
Jardines de la Reina. In recent seasons we have visited these waters
with guides and clients, with spectacular reviews. The results have
been so positive that we are proud to spread the word on how unique
and abundant this marine ecosystem is. The rich flora and fauna in this
area also make it perfect for diving, as the waters are so clear and
the species inhabiting the area, so abundant.
The fishing method we will use at this new location is the same as we
are applying in Cayo Largo, with a rotation of the fishing areas, so
that each skiff has as an assigned daily area to fish. This structure
ensures that anglers are at ease, knowing that their sector has not
been fished by others on that same day. This guarantees that the fish
are not pressured, leaving them eager to take all manner of flies
In this new location, we will be using highly experienced guides with
expert knowledge of the fishing areas. Dolphins Skiffs with Yamaha 70HP
motors will be used to fish the area, which ensures Avalon’s high standard
of quality and security. These same standards are applied throughout
Avalon equipment found at all our destinations. The quality of food
and service offered will be identical to those in Avalon’s other programs
in Jardines de la Reina. The menu will be abundant with fresh fish,
seafood, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Also on the menu are red and
white meats and vegetarian dishes, available on request. A great deal
of priority will be placed on the quality of meals served on board and
the attentive service will be second to none.
This program is completely independent from the other Avalon trips to
Jardines de la Reina, in the sense that anglers will arrive at Jucaro
Port, where they will board the yacht, for a short transfer to the first
fishing area. The program can be booked for 4 to 8 anglers in exclusivity.
Those staying aboard the yacht will be in 4 double rooms, all with air
conditioning and private bathrooms. The guides, crew and wait staff
have a separate sleeping area aboard and will be at guest’s beck and
call throughout the week. Excellent food and service along with long
days on the water in a scarcely explored marine eco system, is what
this new and exciting trip is all about!
