The catamaran rocks gentle as the marina slips astern and the Spanish Virgin Islands resolve on the horizon—white sand glinting like a promise. Onboard the Janise, a Lagoon 380, the morning smells of salt and coffee; crew move with practiced ease while the engine eases into a steady purr. Expect a relaxed eight-hour loop that places you on secluded reefs at Palomino or Piñeros, where the sea dares you to dive down and meet the parrotfish.
