The catamaran slides away from Cancun’s marina with a low, steady hum; salt wind teases hair and the Caribbean stretches a blue so clean it seems to dare you to look away. Onboard, laughter and music mix with the clink of glasses as the boat trims toward Isla Mujeres. The deck is wide and open—perfect for sunning, spotting flying fish, or leaning into the breeze as the shoreline thins to ribboned hotels.
