The boat eases out of Sorrento as morning light slides across the Bay of Naples; sea spray cools the skin and the captain points the bow toward Capri’s jagged silhouette. Travelers spend the day moving between iconic coastal features — the Faraglioni stacks, caverns flushed with color, and the vertical terraces of Positano — with windows of free time to swim, snorkel and walk the village lanes.
