The wooden rail is cool under your palms as the galleon eases away from the dock and the Nichupté lagoon draws you into a quieter current. Lanterns wink on the deck, a live saxophone threads warm notes through the humid air, and the skyline of Cancun Hotel Zone lowers itself to a soft silhouette. The ship’s rigging creaks like a familiar story while the lagoon pushes gently at the hull.
