You step off the harbor into salt-sweet air and the bay unfolds: islands ringed with reef, a ribbon of white sand, and boats rocking as if impatient to move. Throughout the day the water dares you—clear enough to pick out parrotfish among staghorn coral—and the boat's floating bar supplies a more social current, local wine and laughter washing over the deck.
