You step aboard a white-hulled catamaran at Marina Flamingos, the Caribbean wind teasing the sails as Cancún’s shoreline shrinks behind you. The ocean opens—a bright, restless corridor—and the captain sets a steady course toward Isla Mujeres, where Playa Norte waits with glassy shallows and a shoreline that invites slow exploration.
