Boarding at the edge of Punta Cana, the motor hums and the ocean stretches outward like a darkening promise. The boat slips away from the beach clubs and reef-line, and the horizon widens until the sinking sun steals the sky in bands of orange and magenta. Glasses clink; lobster and shrimp skewers steam gently on a nearby platter as a bilingual guide points out the fading coastline.
