What Tristan said.

I noticed once I told a diplomat to go talk to another factions army. But it would have taken him several turns to reach them. Strangely, the little movement arrow still pointed to that army when it was on board a ship at the coast at the start of my turn. But the ship sailed away before my diplomat reached it. If the ship hadn't moved, I wonder if he could have talked to the army of board and bribed the fleet along with it...

He wouldn't have been able to conduct any business with the on-board units...

Ships are perfect safeguards for a Family members if you have naval superiority... they are out of reach of any any kind of agents (assassin, diplomat...)

btw, does anybody know of a way to bring the fight to Cuba as a native faction ?

Seeing that it is the Capital of the Conquistadores, there is no hope of buying it from them, so there is really no way to destroy the Spanish faction... They will keep coming...

The only way I have found to get Cuba when playing as Native American is to swap for a province on the mainland.
Give / sell them a province far to the west of the map. This will induce them to move their capital from Cuba. Then swap another of your provinces for Cuba.
This is costly and holding on to Cuba can be difficult, but it can be done.
You can then take back these provinces on the mainland at your leasure
