You step onto the polished deck at Punta Sam as the marina smells of salt and fresh coffee, the Cancun skyline shrinking behind you while the Caribbean unrolls a band of turquoise ahead. The catamaran slips out, engines humming, and within minutes the reef drops away beneath crystal water—an invitation rather than an obstacle.
