The boat slips away from Negril’s jagged coastline and the sea immediately takes center stage — turquoise water folding into deeper blue, wind tugging at the rail, reggae bass threading through the air. The ride is equal parts transport and show: sea-spray on your face, limestone cliffs rising like small fortresses, and the promise of Rick’s Cafe where cliff-divers punctuate the horizon.
