A low-slung boat cuts through Sicilian blue as cliffs slide past—Cala Rossa’s iron-red rocks flare, then give way to calm coves where the sea invites you to breathe. The skipper eases the engine, the anchor finds its hold, and the water dares you: snorkel out and float over Poseidonia meadows that ripple like slow grass beneath your fins.
