You step onto the Tortuga at Safe Harbor Marina and the harbor pulls away—salt air filling the gaps between conversation and island music. The boat slices through candy-blue ocean; in 15–20 minutes the silhouette of Icacos rises: a low, white crescent of sand rimmed by shallow reefs. The waves dare you into the water, the current nudges the bow toward the reef.
