The boat eases away from the jetty and the island’s low, pale coastline recedes; salt air cuts through the warmth and the Mediterranean opens into a scatter of glassy blue. In a small group aboard a comfortable vessel, you’re guided into patches of open water where dolphins are known to pass—swift, playful shapes breaking the surface, sometimes near enough to hear the slap of a fin.
