Stepping from a launch onto Cloud 9 feels like boarding a small, sunlit stage on the ocean — teak underfoot, a warm breeze pushing the smell of wood-fired pizza across a bright turquoise bowl of water. The two-level platform stakes a casual claim to the horizon: an Italian pizzeria, an internationally stocked bar, daybeds, and an upper deck where the sound system keeps conversation buoyant.
