The catamaran eases out of the marina and the Atlantic stretches like a restless companion, pushing the hull toward cliffs that rise sheer from the sea. Sunlight slides across the powder-blue deck; passengers find loungers, order a drink, and watch a line of seabirds chase the bow. Within minutes the towering Acantilados de Los Gigantes appear, dark volcanic walls dropping hundreds of meters into white-tipped surf — geology made dramatic.
