You step onto a restored 1980s U.S. Navy lifeboat at Crown Bay Marina and the harbor opens up: wind in your face, palms sliding past the shoreline, and blue that feels like a dare. In four hours the Taco Tug threads a short channel to Water Island’s Honeymoon Beach, then parks amid lazy swells by Lime Out — the floating taco bar that can only be reached by boat.
