The speedboat eases away from the marina and the city’s line of hotels tilts into a low ribbon on the horizon. Salt air pushes at your face, the engine’s thrum becomes background to the sea’s bright-slate hush. In minutes the boat positions over clear water and, after a compact safety briefing, the harness cinches, the canopy fills and you lift — the coastline shrinking into a patchwork of reef and white sand.
