The hull cuts loose from the shore and the Caribbean spreads out: turquoise that pushes at the boat and a broad horizon that dares you to breathe slower. On a four-hour catamaran tour from Punta Cana, the deck becomes a social platform—music pulsing, cold drinks in hand—then a launching point into clear-water snorkeling over the Bávaro reef and into a shallow natural pool where the sea flattens like glass.
