The boat slips away from Santa Teresa di Gallura at first light, the harbor’s stone quay shrinking behind you while Corsica’s southern cliffs rise ahead like a weathered wall. Salt and pine ride the breeze; the skipper trims sails and the hull eases into a corridor of turquoise. By mid-morning you’ll be cutting through glassy shallows into the Lavezzi archipelago where white sand and sculpted granite demand a stop.
