The boat slips free from the dock as the Gulf of Mexico stretches like a low, burnished mirror; the sun lowers and the horizon begins to pull colors tight—gold, coral, then a cool indigo. On this two-hour private cruise out of Bayview Park, the water itself seems to lean toward the boat, urging you to look—dolphins arcing close, wading birds adjusting their silhouettes, and the shoreline lights of Naples blinking awake.
