The bow cuts a bright line through turquoise water as palms peel past the shoreline and the red top of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse rises into view. On a private 52’ yacht the Atlantic and Intracoastal meet like different moods of the same sea — glassy flats near sandbars, a brisk chop beyond the inlet — and the crew hands you a chilled drink while the stewardess lays out a charcuterie board.
