The boat slips away from the white sand and the Caribbean breeze tugs at the canopy before you lift—eight minutes suspended above Punta Cana, the sea a wide, sun-stippled sheet below. Music hums on deck, crew members run through checks, and the shoreline recedes into a band of palms and low hotels. The flight is short but immediate: a clear, unobstructed view of the reef line and the rhythmic swell that shapes this coast.
