The catamaran slips away from Cancun’s hotel zone as the city’s skyline shrinks and the Caribbean takes charge — a ribbon of turquoise that dares you to dive in. Onboard, the open bar and music set an easy mood; by the first reef stop, the water goes crystalline and the boat’s engines quiet for snorkeling among hard corals and darting parrotfish.
