Salty wind lifts the scent of sea and citrus as the catamaran slips away from Xemxija, twin hulls humming across Malta’s glittering channel. Guests spread across the foredeck; sunlight chisels the cliffs of Comino as the boat angles toward the Santa Maria Caves, where limestone walls lean into the cobalt like an invitation.
