The sun leans low over Flagler Drive as the catamaran slips from the Clematis Street docks and the city’s shoreline unspools — a mix of 125 years of brick-and-glass history and the white facades of Palm Beach mansions. Guests settle into padded seats or stretch out on the bow nets while the Atlantic tugs the hull forward and the skyline takes on a softer edge.
