The catamaran slips away from the resort dock and the shore of Punta Cana falls back into a strip of white sand and swaying palms. Salt air sharpens your senses; the hull hums, local island music threads through an open bar, and sunlight paints the water in bands of turquoise. Within minutes you’re out on open Caribbean water, approaching coral-fringed shallows where tropical fish dart like living confetti.
