More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The bow nets hum underfoot as the catamaran slips away from Grace Bay, and the shore peels back into a horizon of bleach-white sand and low, limestone ridges. Salt air sharpens the senses; a crew member slides out a tray of rum punch while someone leans into the rail to watch dolphins cut through the turquoise like polished knives. Onboard conversation drops and the sea takes over — insistent, alive, inviting.
