Fishing The Waters of Hemingway • A Key West Classic

Channel your inner “Old Man and the Sea” aboard Papa’s Cat, a 48-ft catamaran built for both sport and story. Depart Key West Bight Marina, steps from Schooner Wharf Bar, and chase the same horizon that inspired Hemingway himself. Your captain provides all rods, reels, tackle, and bait—everything from snapper and yellowtail to the silver flash of tarpon is in play. Between strikes, enjoy Cuban sliders, Key West pink shrimp, and a chilled coconut straight from the husk. With space for six guests, this trip blends the thrill of the catch with the laid-back charm of island life. Bring your own spirits or grab a cold drink before boarding and raise a glass to adventure on the waters of legend.
