The roar of the outboard fades as the boat slides into a turquoise basin off the coast of Side. Salt stings the air, laughter rises from the stern where a foam party is already starting, and a grill sends thin ribbons of smoke across the deck. Over nine hours you’ll move between shallow sandbars, rocky coves and a small islet locals call Dolphin Island, alternating swim breaks, music and a simple grilled lunch.
