The marina smells of diesel and sun-warmed gelcoat as a low-profile jetcar idles against the slip, its hull catching the glitter of Biscayne Bay. You slide into a leather seat, pair your phone to the Bluetooth stereo and feel the stern nudge forward—water parts and dares you to keep pace. The ride alternates between lazy, glassy canals and adrenaline on open water, with palm-fringed beaches and mansions sliding past like postcards.
