The catamaran's bow parts a calm sea as the coastline of Palm Beach slides aft — low-rise hotels become silhouettes, and the sky leans toward orange. Onboard, an open-deck catamaran hums with conversation and the clink of glasses while Aruba's trade winds push you gently along the island's western shore.
