Flying across the Gulf
 

Hello all I have a guy looking at buying a twin to fly from the US to Belize where he has property. I have never done any long water crossings and have never flown in the caribbean. It appears the best route is from Key West along Cuba then toward Cancun and then down.

-Can any of you tell me about similar flights?

-Also can you tell me some good items to have whenever we complete this trip?

-How is the flying near and around cuba, cancun, and in around Belize?

-User fees?

-Are there any good sites for researching this type of flying?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like fun!
