The catamaran slips away from Cancun’s hotel-lined shores and the Caribbean opens up — warm, clear, and pulsing with color. Onboard, wind tugs at sun hats and the crew unpacks snorkels while the boat hums toward Isla Mujeres, a low, limestone ring of sand and palms that has long been a refuge from the mainland’s rush.
