No Experience Required

The tiki boat slips away from the dock and the salt-slicked harbor opens up: a low sun slants through palm fronds, gulls wheel and the engine rhythm steadies into an easy pulse. Onboard, a Bluetooth playlist sets the mood while the USCG-licensed captain threads the craft through the Lower Grand Lagoon, where mangrove channels give way to wide water and curious dolphins often thread the bow wake.
