The boat eases out of Vilamoura Marina and the Algarve opens like a wide, bright corridor—blue water under a low sun, wind building over the bow. Moments later you’re clipped to a triplizer bar and lifted; the town shrinks into a tidy cluster of roofs while the coastline unspools beneath you: marinas, sandy crescents, and cliffs that hold traces of the region’s marine geology.
