The wake parts the harbor like a ribbon as the boat peels away from Paraty’s stone quay. Salt air tightens around the deck, gulls wheel overhead and the hills of the Serra do Mar fall back into patches of Atlantic Forest. Onboard, the captain asks about preferred stops — a quiet beach to step onto white sand, a shallow reef to snorkel, or a slow cruise through the arm of Mamanguá — and the day reshapes itself to the party on deck.
