The boat eases off the dock and the bay opens like a page. Salt-sweet air pushes against the bow, gulls quartering overhead as a small pod of dolphins arcs through the channel—bright backs cutting the water as if daring you to follow. Onboard, a low-slung tiki boat keeps the vibe casual: music, a cooler, and the steady rhythm of the engine guiding you around the Perdido Islands.
