You step off the dock as trade winds thread through the rigging and the turquoise bay dares you to loosen your grip on the shore. The 47' Leopard catamaran, S/Y Pisces, rocks gently as the captain welcomes up to 12 guests and points the bow toward scattered isles: Water Island’s sheltered coves, a sun-soaked cay, and the snorkeling arcs of nearby reefs.
