The catamaran slips off Jamwest Beach with the Caribbean breeze pushing the sail and salt on your lips. Guests board after a short drive from Lucea, moving from the shaded palms of Jamwest's shoreline into wide blue — the boat hums, snorkel gear clicks, and the coastline recedes into cliffs and reef.
