The engine coughs to life and the bay answers—salt-slick water nudging the hull while sunlight skates across downtown glass. You sit low like in a sports car, headphones bumped to your playlist, and the shoreline of Miami starts to move past: pastel façades, palm trunks leaning toward the tide, and the occasional yacht slipping between channels.
