<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Pursuant to Rule 477 (&ldquo;Rule
477&rdquo;) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Act&rdquo;), The Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund, Inc.
(the &ldquo;Registrant&rdquo;) hereby respectfully requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;Commission&rdquo;)
consent to the immediate withdrawal, effective as of the date of this application or as soon as practicable thereafter, of the Registrant&rsquo;s
above-captioned registration statement, together with all exhibits thereto (the &ldquo;Registration Statement&rdquo;) filed by the Registrant
on March 23, 2021 on Form N-2 (Accession No. 0001398344-21-006909).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Registrant is requesting to withdraw the Registration Statement because certain disclosure to delay effectiveness
in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act was inadvertently omitted from the facing sheet of the Registration Statement (the
&ldquo;Omitted Disclosure&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Registrant confirms that no
securities have been offered or sold under the Registration Statement, and thus the Registrant believes that the withdrawal of the Registration
Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated by Rule 477(a).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Registrant intends to file
a new registration statement on Form N-2, containing an identical form of Prospectus and a facing sheet that includes the Omitted Disclosure.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Registrant acknowledges that
no refund will be made for fees paid to the Commission in connection with filing of the Registration Statement. The Registrant understands,
however, that in accordance with Rule 457(p) promulgated under the Securities Act, that the amount of the filing fee associated with Registration
Statement No. <B>333-254635</B> may be offset against the total filing fee due for a subsequent registration statement or registration
statements filed by the Registrant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Should you have any questions
regarding the foregoing application for withdrawal of the Registration Statement, please contact John P. Falco of Troutman Pepper Hamilton
