The catamaran eases off Cancun’s coast and the Caribbean opens like a bright, restless road—turquoise water pressing at the hull, sun lifting off the sea. Onboard, the crew moves with practiced ease; glasses clink, the breeze teases hair, and Isla Mujeres slips into view as a low, limestone crescent on the horizon.
