The marina exhales a rhythm of diesel and salt as the sleek Sunseeker slips free from its berth. You step onto varnished teak, feel the hull settle, and watch Albufeira recede into a scalloped coastline of honey-colored cliffs. The crew moves with quiet competence—coffee mugs balanced, snorkel gear stowed, a chilled bottle of rosé waiting in an ice bucket—and the boat answers the Atlantic with a smooth, confident roll.
