A warm trade wind lifts the catamaran as it slips away from the Puntacana coastline, foam hissing at the hull while the bay opens like a challenge. Glass-blue water stretches to the horizon; fishermen's boats bob in the distance and the reef below pulses with color. Onboard, music and the open bar set a party tempo, but the real draw is the water—clear, alive, and waiting.
