The engine's low thrum and the salty breath off the Caribbean set the tempo before the skyline of Cartagena slides fully into view. Guests step aboard Pura Vida 2 at Club Náutico Manga — captain David and mate Jerry already trimming lines — and the city quickly becomes a watercolor on the horizon. Within half an hour the water deepens, the wind sharpens, and the chase begins: sailfish jump like questions, tunas pulse under the surface, and mahi-mahi streak green and gold across wakes.
