The catamaran slides away from the dock and the Bavaro coastline falls open: palms blur past white-sand coves, the sea gleams a mosaic of turquoise, and the crew cues up upbeat music. Guests drift between the shaded deck and the open rail, glasses raised; the boat’s rhythm syncs to the push of the trade wind.
