The catamaran slips away from the mainland as the afternoon sun softens, the boat’s shadow cutting a cool path over water that has been warming all day. Passengers drift to padded loungers, towels folded beside snorkeling kits, while children squeal at the boat’s large waterslide. The return voyage times the sunset; cliffs flare orange as the vessel threads sea caves on Comino’s jagged coast.
