You step from the dock into the warm spray of Nichupté Lagoon, the throttle humming like a small jet beneath the surface. A bilingual pilot gives a clear, hands-on briefing on a floating platform, then straps you into the board; the water pushes, you rise, and the hotel-lined horizon of Cancún slides away below.
