The sun leans low over the Bay of Naples as the private boat slips away from Sorrento’s main port; the water takes on a molten hue and the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast sharpen into silhouette. Guests settle on deck with glasses in hand while the captain eases the hull along a coastline that alternates between vertical lemon terraces and small coves where waves dare visitors to jump in.
