The hull cuts a slow, steady line along Negril’s western shore as the sun slides toward the horizon, the crew calling out reefs and cliffs while reggae hums over the open bar. You move easily between two snorkel sites — a shallow coral garden and the shadowed mouths of limestone caves where pirates once sheltered — then drop anchor off a tiny, uninhabited sand cay to watch fresh lobster sizzle on charcoal.
