The catamaran slips away from Cancun’s marina and the Caribbean opens like a clean, blue challenge—wind on your face, the spinnaker billowing above like a sail daring you to look up. In a few hours you’ll be anchored over a reef where clear water reveals bands of coral and bright fish, then drifting toward Isla Mujeres for beach club lunch and free time to walk the palm-lined shore.
