The catamaran slips away from South Naples as the Gulf of Mexico flattens into a wide, reflective sheet; gulls quarrel overhead and the hull hums as a small band of passengers leans into the wind. On a day sail aboard Cool Beans you’ll feel the rigging respond like a living thing and the Gulf’s warm current nudge the hull, while mangrove shorelines and barrier islands pass close enough to read their contours.
