You step aboard a low-profile catamaran as the harbor light throws silver across the water; sailcloth catches a steady trade wind and the island’s volcanic spine keeps a watchful silhouette to the east. The half-day rhythm is deliberate—short hops between reefs, a guided snorkel at each stop, and time on deck for rum punch and salty conversation.
