Dawn arrives soft and salt-sweet on the sundeck as the Boss Cruise slips between limestone towers that rise like ancient islands from a glassy green sea. You watch karst cliffs pass within arm’s reach, fishermen in conical hats tending nets, and the boat’s wake folding the bay into new patterns — an immediate lesson in scale and stillness.
