The engine hums to a steady rhythm as the boat slips away from Cefalù’s tourist pier and the town’s cathedral silhouette shrinks behind you. Salt air pushes forward, and the Tyrrhenian spreads wide — clear, cool, and inviting. Onboard, groups of up to 14 swap chatter for goggles, ready to drop into shallow reefs and hidden coves only reachable by sea.
