The catamaran slips out of Punta Sam as the late-afternoon sun drops toward the Caribbean horizon, the water turning from turquoise to molten gold. Conversations soften, phones lift for photos, and the boat’s low profile lets the wind and salt take center stage. You’ll glide toward Isla Mujeres, the island growing as a jagged silhouette capped by palms and the promise of Playa Norte.
