The catamaran slips away from the Punta Cana marina with reggae bumping and the ocean opening like a dare ahead. On deck, the sun warms skin while the crew rigs slides and hands out snorkel masks; laughter and salt spray ride the same wind. In minutes the coast of Bávaro becomes a moving shoreline of palms and low reef, and the music turns the boat into a rolling celebration between swims.
