The catamaran eases off the pier and the Caribbean opens like a page you can read with your hands — warm wind pushing the sails, sunlight skimming the water, and the hull humming underfoot. Guests sip Prosecco in an air-conditioned lounge or lounge on trampolines as the coastline slides by, palms and limestone cliffs framing each small bay.
