The catamaran slips off the private dock as the hotel strip of Puerto Plata recedes — salt spray mists your sunglasses and the ocean nudges the hull into a steady, sun-bright rhythm. In two hours you’ll be anchored over coral gardens off Sosúa, fins dangling, while a marine guide points out parrotfish and the swaying fingers of elkhorn coral.
