The boat slips away from the motu as the lagoon takes charge of the afternoon light. Breeze skims the glasslike water, and the jagged silhouette of Mount Otemanu watches the horizon as the sun begins its slow exit. A small group — two guests for this private run — settle into cushions with a glass of bubbly, while the captain finds a calm line through the reef.
