The catamaran slips free of Marina Las Perlas at km 2.2 of Cancún’s Hotel Zone and the city’s skyline shrinks into a low line on the horizon. Salted wind pushes the sails and the water changes from aquamarine to the deeper blue that marks the channel toward Isla Mujeres. On deck there’s space to stretch, a steady open bar, and the hum of passengers anticipating the reefs ahead.
