The boat hums off Negril’s western shore as light leans gold across the ocean. Onboard, a DJ spins reggae, the crew passes cold drinks, and the coastline slides by—seven miles of sandy beach giving way to limestone cliffs that rise like a dark lip against the sky. By mid-cruise the catamaran anchors at Sandy Cove Reef; fins and masks cut through clear water, tropical fish scattering among coral heads, then it’s back to the deck to watch the sun lower toward Rick’s Cafe’s cliff-top silhouette.
