The catamaran slips out of Carlisle Bay as the sky softens; warm trade winds push a steady ribbon of foam past the hull and the island’s silhouette drifts by like a lived-in map. Guests trade the bustle of Bridgetown for a low-slung cay where powder-soft sand and a shallow shipwreck wait for snorkel masks to descend — reefs bristling with parrotfish and coral fingers that dare you to look closer.
