The boat slips from the marina and the Tagus loosens its grip—salt spray threads the air and the city skyline shrinks to a watercolor horizon. On a private sailing yacht you cut past headlands and limestone staircases, the Atlantic tugging at the hull as surf-slick cliffs and pocket beaches slide by. Music plays, a welcome drink is offered, and the sea dares you to jump in.
