The engine cuts through glassy Adriatic water and the coastline of Dalmatia falls away: limestone cliffs bright against blue, small islands leaning into the wake. On a private speedboat you move quickly between dramatic features — the Blue Cave’s aquamarine glow, the Green Cave’s mossy entrance, and the sheltered bays that dare you to jump in.
