You step aboard a compact, elegant launch and the town’s limestone cliffs lean in like curious hosts, their caves dark mouths lit by sudden shafts of Adriatic light. The skipper slips the mooring and the water takes over—cool, brassy, and insistent—pushing the boat into hidden hollows while a chilled bottle of prosecco waits in an icebox.
