What to expect

You'll board a modern vessel equipped for comfort and safety. The skipper navigates the quieter side of the island, pointing out coves and landmarks as you sail. There's time for a proper swim in the anchorage—water is calmest at this hour. The aperitif arrives shortly after, served on deck as the sun colours the sky. Expect simple, quality local produce: cured meats, cheese, olives, perhaps marinated fish. Wine pours easily. The boat returns to port after dark, moving slowly and steadily.
