Salt and diesel mix with the low chatter of other passengers; the boat’s shaded bow becomes a lookout post. In minutes the shoreline thins, the swell opens, and dorsal fins stipple the horizon—dolphins first, curious and fast, sometimes inviting close approaches; on the right season a distant spout signals migrating humpback whales.
