About

Hemingway's Playground - Ernest’s first sportfishing foray was a weekend trip with Charles to the Marquesas, 30 miles offshore, on a boat captained by Bahamian “Bra” Saunders. The possibilities are endless, from romantic sunsets, harbor trips, snorkeling, sandbar and dolphin cruises, and thrilling backwater eco excursions. Start times are flexible.

Exceptional Snorkeling: The waters around the Marquesas Keys are excellent for snorkeling and diving. The coral reefs and underwater ecosystems are vibrant and offer a chance to explore marine life up close.
