A morning breeze pulls the bow away from Cannigione and the archipelago opens like a map come alive: limestone cliffs flashing white, coves cutting into granite, and water so clear the hull seems to float over it. Guests step from pier to dinghy under a skipper’s steady hand and the day stretches into a sequence of swims, short landings and viewlines where islands push the horizon into sculpted shapes.
