More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning opens with a low, salty wind as the 42-foot yacht slips out of the marina and the hotel-zone skyline falls behind you. Water the color of polished glass nudges the hull; gulls circle with a casual curiosity while the crew checks lines and coolers. You cross the shallow channel, slide beneath the bridge, and the Caribbean begins to insist—warm, clear, and impossible to ignore.
