The bow parts the morning like a confident hand, and the coastline of San José del Cabo slides into view—gold sand, low mangrove fingers, and the white roofs of a small fishing hamlet. On a 50-foot Beneteau the ocean feels like a private room: the breeze arranges itself across the deck, the teak smells faintly of salt and oil, and shaded dining benches invite a slow breakfast after boarding. For four hours the sea sets the agenda—snorkel, paddle, fish, or simply drift near beaches few other boats reach.
