A small RIB cuts through the Adriatic and Split’s seafront slides astern — the city’s stone facades shrink while the sea opens. The water here is clear and cool, the rock under the surface a continuation of the karst cliffs that shape Dalmatia; below, fish pick their way around ancient boulders and the current teases the blades of seagrass.

If you’re prone to motion sickness, take prophylactics at least an hour before departure.
