The engine ticks to life and the Caribbean opens before you — a strip of glassy turquoise edged by the pale sand of Seven Mile Beach while distant reef drops the sea into darker cobalt. You push off the dock and the jet ski answers: responsive, nimble, daring you down the coast. In an hour you can thread mangrove channels, skim past swimmers along Seven Mile Beach, or aim north to the shallow sandbars where stingrays glide like living shadows.
