Cuba - Emergencies

Dec 10, 2024

Emergencies: 26811

An EPIRB is possibly the only way to summon help if you are in trouble in Cuban waters. VHF stations are few and far between and lack of Spanish will be a problem. There is a direct communication link between the USCG and the Cuban Border Guard so the EPIRB signal will be received and forwarded.

To initiate a rescue at sea call MRCC Fort-de-France (Martinique).
They will hear you on VHF Ch 16 anywhere from Northern St Vincent to half way between Guadeloupe and Antigua via several sensitive radio repeaters.
They monitor comms 24/7 and can speak both French and English.
