The boat slips clear of Dubrovnik’s stone quay and the city recedes into a line of towers; salt air and engine hum set the pace. Onboard the Barracuda 545, the skipper reads the sea—currents and wind—and skims toward a scatter of small, sun-soft islands. Water opens like a decision: teal shallows, pockets of darker depth where caves yawn.
