The bow cuts a bright ribbon through the Mediterranean and the coastline of Estepona slides past like a map: whitewashed buildings, a low marina, cliffs that lean toward the sea. Salt and sun take the lead as dolphins play at the boat’s wake, the captain laughing into the wind while music threads through the cockpit. You’ll anchor in clear water for snorkeling, try the paddle board, and if the mood takes you, grab the mic for karaoke as the horizon holds steady.
