The engine's rumble arrives an instant before the spray does: a Corvette silhouette carved from fiberglass, sitting low like a cat ready to pounce on glassy water. At Pelican Harbor, passengers sling on life jackets and exchange a grin with the guide; the jet car waits, impatient and improbably glamorous, its chrome flirting with the sun. For the next hour, Miami’s skyline slides by like a postcard and Biscayne Bay dares you to go faster.
