The marina light softens as the boat slips away from Dock D, Luxury Avenue shrinking to a line of reflections while the sky bruises orange. Onboard, bilingual naturalist guides scan the horizon; their binoculars and drone cameras cut through the fading glare in search of broad backs and tail flukes. For two hours you ride the swell at the edge of Land’s End, where deep sea meets the shallower bays and humpback whales stage their winter migration.
