The bow of the Sandie Cat parts the glassy Gulf as the sun leans toward the horizon, painting the sky in quick, brassy strokes. Laughter and a local acoustic set rise from the main deck while the three-tier catamaran slips past shrimp boats and the jagged outline of the old harbor—this is Key West’s ritual: a sunset that draws both tourists and locals to the water.
