Morning on Grace Bay begins with a low, liquid hush: the catamaran slips away from the line of hotels, the hull cutting a quiet ribbon through turquoise that seems to glow from below. Guests gather at the gas station in front of Salt restaurant, backpacks and reef shoes in hand, and within minutes the 44-foot Big Ben unfurls its sails. Wind takes over, the lagoon opens, and the day stretches wide—Pine Cay’s shoals, Half Moon Bay’s shallow plates, a sandbar that parks you on the surface of the sea.
