The catamaran slips away from Port Zante as tropical sun and trade winds set the pace — salt on your skin, the island silhouette of St Kitts shrinking behind you. Crew voices call out safety notes and hand out rum punches; the boat finds a sheltered cove where the anchor settles and the water goes crystalline. Step off the swim platform into a reef-studded playground where parrotfish and snapper patrol the boulders.
