The catamaran slips away from the Baytowne Marina and the shoreline lights blur into a ribbon. Salt air tugs at your jacket and the bay, smooth as glass, seems to lean toward the horizon as the first bursts of the Sandestin fireworks begin to bloom overhead. From the Sol y Luna every seat is an unobstructed window on a choreographed night sky.
