The catamaran slips away from Punta Sam as late afternoon light fattens over the Caribbean; salt and engine oil mix with the citrus of a cocktail and the horizon pulls the island nearer. Passengers lean on the rail, cameras ready, while the crew cues mellow rhythms and opens the bar. By the time the boat drops anchor at Isla Mujeres, the town’s painted houses and palm-framed shoreline glow under a low, warm sun.
