The schooner slips off the Santa Luzia pier and the bay opens into bands of turquoise and deep blue—an invitation to step out of the city’s pulse and into water that seems to have its own weather. Salt lifts off the deck as the vessel threads between islands; fish flash beneath the surface and the call of seabirds follows the bow.

Bring cash for the environmental fee
