The catamaran slips off Sosúa Beach as the sun leans west, the sea pushing the boat gently away from the shore. Salted breeze lifts the music from deck speakers and the crew flips skewers on a small grill; the horizon colors itself in fast, vivid strokes. Guests lean over the rail, phones poised, while the ocean dares them to look away.
