See Cuba Formalities for detailed information on clearing into and out of Cuba.
The marina monitors VHF Channel 16 and being used to yachts, formalities are relatively straightforward. Officials and marina staff are reported to be friendly and helpful.
Clearance is possible 7 days a week and the bank is also open 7 days a week for currency exchange.
You can enter the marina and tie up for your clearing in formalities, but you do not have to stay. Alternatively, anchor and dinghy in with your papers.
Your papers will be taken away to be processed and visas will be provided within the hour. A doctor will want to make a short health check of all crew members and Agriculture will want to come on board to inspect foodstuff.
Any rubbish landed is automatically burnt.
Cayo Largo is a good place to extend your tourist visa because all of the requisite services are in the same place.

Reported by Brian Simm:
Checking in at this modern, small marina could not be more different from Mexico.
The 48hr passage from Isla Mujeres and shelter from forecasted norther.
We arrived at 8.30 am on a Sunday, captain of the port, marina manager and immigration were waiting on the dock at 5 minutes notice.
Papers took for completion elsewhere, visas given and returned in 30 minutes. The doctor arrives after 20 minutes for a short check. Agriculture apologetically after an hour, strict quarantine rules waived on the promise that food will be kept on board, (and 2 beers).
Any rubbish landed is automatically burnt.
No extra copies of any papers required, Bank opens 7 days for an exchange, single payment to marina manager, Evilio, at your leisure later.
Could not be easier or more polite!
You should see the snappers and tarpon under the bar dock… local crocodile attends bar most evenings.. lunch for 2 with beers $10.00. 1 CUC = $1.00 .
