The electric Duffy slips away from a downtown dock, engines whispering beneath a skyline of glass. Buildings stack into the horizon; the river narrows and opens as movable bridges lift and drop like gates to the bay. Guests lean on polished rails, wine in hand, while the river carries their conversation past cargo piers, refurbished warehouses, and the leafier edges where manatees sometimes surface, curious and unhurried.
