Sunlight fractures across flat, clear water as the charter eases away from the Key West marina, gulls trailing the bow and the city shrinking to a warm strip of pastel roofs. The captain trims the engine and the sea, bright and watchful, seems to invite you forward — toward shallow sandbars rimmed in white and reef ledges humming with color.
