The catamaran slips away from Playa Tortugas with the Caribbean pressing close — warm, turquoise water that seems to dare you to jump in. Salt and sunscreen mix with the low hum of the engines as the shoreline of Cancún recedes and Isla Mujeres grows on the horizon, its white sand catching the sun.
