Step aboard on a bright Clearwater afternoon and feel the gentle motion of a luxury yacht as it pulls away from Slip 58. The Gulf’s shallow channels open like pages in a field guide: ribboned seagrass, kelp beds, and the occasional slick back of a dolphin breaking the surface. The captain’s voice carries across the deck, pointing out sandbars, private islands, and the seasons written in the birds.
