The catamaran slips away from Bávaro’s shoreline and the sea takes up the rhythm — warm trade winds filling the sails, gulls riding the wake, the reef ahead holding color like a secret. You step onto the deck and the afternoon unfolds: a lively mix of salt spray, music, and small-group marine moments that alternate between thrills and easy lounging.
