You climb aboard a low-slung speedboat as the marina yawns awake: fishermen tend nets, and a warm breeze lifts the salt off the water. The engine cuts through glassy blue and the coastline slides away; within 45 minutes the Red Sea sheds its shoreline manners and becomes something wilder. Ahead, a scatter of reef and sand—Dolphin House—breaks the surface, and you feel the sea’s curiosity first: dolphins tracing the bow like bright punctuation.
