The hull cuts a clean line through Atlantic blue as the yacht leaves the marina; salt spray cools your face and the island’s sun edges the horizon. In two hours you cross a corridor of deep water where underwater canyons funnel nutrients and draw dolphins, pilot whales and occasional loggerhead turtles close to shore. Guides scan the swells and narrate animal behavior while the boat circles gently, offering several vantage points for photography and quiet observation.
