The catamaran pushes off from Cancun and the city’s skyline slips behind you, the wind stitching salt to your hair as the Caribbean opens into a flat, turquoise plain. In the distance, Isla Mujeres rises low and bright — a stretch of white sand, limestone headlands and the slow pulse of reef shallows. Onboard, laughter mixes with the slap of wake; the promise of snorkeling, a buffet lunch and an open bar sets an easy tempo for the day.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
