A light breeze lifts the skirt of the sail as you step aboard a compact luxury yacht on the Gold Coast Broadwater. Sunlight freckles the water; the skyline of Surfers Paradise slides past in glittering panels while the crew eases lines and pours two glasses of sparkling wine. The boat threads a sheltered corridor of marinas and low dunes—Marina Mirage, the Palazzo Versace frontage, and Wave Break Island—each landmark passing close enough to study details through a camera lens.
