The boat slips away from the marina and the shoreline slides past — palms give way to open water, merengue fills the air, and the crew hands you a Mama Juana to toast the afternoon. On this three-hour mini-cruise from Punta Cana you trade the hotel strip for a sun-drenched deck, a shallow coral reef, and a natural sandbar that becomes a floating patio.
