The speedboat cuts a path along Istria’s western shore as the sun begins its slow descent, the Adriatic glinting like a moving mirror. Salt and engine oil mix in the air; local skippers scan the horizon, eyes attuned to the flash of dorsal fins. Dolphins often appear on the bow’s side, curious and quick, turning the evening into a compact wildlife encounter framed by coastal cliffs and pine-topped islets.
