The catamaran eases off Grand Baie as the western sky begins to burn—salmon then deep indigo—while the lagoon glass catches the changing light. Guests settle on netting and benches, drink in hand, as the boat slides past shallow reefs and the silhouette of Coin de Mire rises on the horizon. Cameras click; conversations soften.
