The boat slips away from the quay, spray tasting of salt and diesel, and within minutes the coastline of Malta stretches into a ribbon of limestone and blue. As the canopy fills you are lifted above the wake—at least 550 feet up—where the Mediterranean opens beneath and the island’s fortifications, bays and reefs rearrange into a map seen from a bird’s eye.
