You step off the dock into a soundtrack of gulls and harbor motors; the 32-foot Intrepid rocks gently, its hull already warm from morning sun. A captain in a crisp polo greets you with a handshake and a quick briefing: today’s route is yours to design. The engine hums like a co-conspirator as the harbor opens and the Atlantic takes you, blue and insistent, toward reefs that dare you to dive.
