The morning light slips across the harbor as the 46‑foot boat pulls away from the dock and the Atlantic opens up, glass bright or ruffled by trade winds. Within an hour the shoreline of Culebra appears — white sand cutting a clean line against shallow turquoise and coral-studded seabeds. The guide briefs the group, hands out snorkel gear, and the sea invites you to look down: reef gardens, small schools of parrotfish, and the slow turns of sea turtles.
