The bow parts the harbor and the salt wind leans in, nudging the stereo as laughter bounces off the water. In a one-hour private charter out of Miami, your family occupies a small floating world: a captain at the helm, an icebox within reach, a water mat and tube tied ready, and a playlist set to mood. The bay pushes and pulls at the hull; the skyline watches like an urban coastline with a casual interest.
