The boat slips from Marina del Sur and the shore falls away; wind coaxes the hull forward and the coast of southern Tenerife unfolds—steep volcanic ramps, the ochre flank of Montaña Amarilla, and the squat silhouette of the Rasca Lighthouse. Sea spray teases the skin and the guide points to a patch of blue where dolphins often cut the surface.
