The catamaran slips off the marina finger as sunlight fractures across the Caribbean; foam traces the hull, and the air tastes of salt and citrus. Music rises from the deck, guides hand out snorkel sets, and the day opens toward Isla Mujeres — a low coral island with sugar-sand streets and an easygoing rhythm.
