No Experience Required

Morning light slices across the Caribbean as the catamaran slips away from Miches, white wake fanning out like an invitation. The wind rearranges the salt on your skin; the bay opens ahead, a wide bowl of turquoise that seems to dare you to look away. Over ten hours you’ll trade the resort rhythm of Punta Cana for a sequence of landscapes—open ocean, mangrove mouths, shaded trails and a small island the postcards stole a name for.
