Overview
Marita is the Smugglers of Port Royal faction contact at the Smugglers' hidden cave base. She is the second objective NPC in the Underground Network quest and the gateway to unlocking the Smugglers Buyer for treasure and contraband.
Location
Marita is found inside the Smugglers of Port Royal Main Base, which is hidden within a cave on an island reached by green-striped waters on the map. The cave is concealed: there are no NPCs or structures outside. Dock at the island and circle the perimeter to find the cave entrance. Inside, a Buyer NPC stands to Marita's left.
Role
Talking to Marita is the second objective of the Underground Network quest. Completing her step unlocks the Smugglers Buyer, who accepts treasure-class items and Contraband for high Piastres payouts.
Why She Matters
Unlocks the Smugglers Buyer for treasure and contraband hand-ins.
Unlocks a free Fast Travel Bell point inside the cave.
Opens the Smugglers faction's reputation track via later quests.
Tips
The approach sail is guarded by pirates and storms. Bring repair supplies.
Drop a Fast Travel Bell near the cave entrance to avoid the repeated sail.
Do not sell generic loot here. Marita's Buyer specializes in treasure and contraband; other items fetch better prices at Tortuga.
