The catamaran slips away from Margaritaville on Negril’s 7‑Mile Beach as the afternoon sun begins to lean west, the hull humming while the wind tugs at the sail. Laughter and reggae blend with the briny air; snorkel masks clink in a bag and the captain points toward the reef where clear water dares you to look beneath.
