The catamaran cuts through turquoise like a bright line on a painter’s palette, the hull humming as trade winds push you toward hidden coves. Onboard a 40-by-25-foot luxury catamaran set up for just 12 guests, the morning opens with a fresh fruit platter and pastry while Red Hook or Cruz Bay slips astern.
