The sun slides low behind limestone towers as the Alisa cuts a slow arc through glassy water; gulls call and a fishing boat drifts like a punctuation mark. Onboard, teak decks and glass railings frame karst islands that rise sheer from the sea—each one a different shape and shadow—while the crew prepares the night’s dinner and a small flotilla of kayaks waits on the swim platform.
