The catamaran slips away from the pier behind the Hyatt Regency as the sun begins its slow fall toward the Caribbean horizon. Sea spray cools your face, the deck hums with low local rhythms, and Palm Beach recedes into a line of palms and low-rise hotels. The mast catches the trade winds and the boat eases into a wide arc toward the island’s northern lighthouse.
