The catamaran slips quietly out of Ammoudi at first light, hull cutting the Aegean into sheets of blue as the caldera cliffs rise like a geological wall to starboard. Onboard, the deck is a shallow stage: sunbeds, an open bar pouring local assyrtiko and ouzo, and a crew trimming sails to chase the best light.
