You step aboard a multi-level catamaran and the Caribbean opens like a bright page: turquoise water, a steady trade wind, and the thrum of a crew cueing music and safety briefings. Deck chairs and shaded lounges offer contrast—sun for tanning, shade for a mid-morning pastry and coffee—while a trampoline and waterslide promise bursts of play between calm crossings.
