The catamaran slips away from the shore and the Atlantic opens like an invitation. Warm wind pushes past the mast, the hull humming underfoot as live music threads through laughter and the splash of water against the bows. Guests spread out on shaded benches and sun decks, drink in hand, while the coastline of northern Dominican Republic slides by — limestone outcrops, low reefs, and bands of white sand.
