The boat slips away from the marina as the gulf-breeze brushes your face and the sky begins its slow, color-graded exit. Onboard a compact New Godfrey tailored for six, you settle into low benches with a blanket and a glass; ospreys wheel overhead while dolphins trace the boat’s wake, curious enough to cut in front and dare you to take the perfect photo.
