A swell of Mediterranean air lifts the canvas as the sail catches and the marina at Sotogrande slides astern. Guests sip a welcome drink while the crew trims lines; the low-rise coastline of the Costa del Sol drifts by—white villas, rocky headlands, and flashes of Gibraltar’s silhouette on the horizon. The sea nudges the boat onward, inviting short swims from an anchored cove or a slow, easy sail along sheltered waters.
