The boat slips away from Marina Grande and the sea instantly takes charge — a cold, clean push against the bow, salt on your lips and cliffs rising like quiet walls. In two hours you’ll trace Capri’s coast: the green-glass of the Green Grotto, the white glow of the White Grotta, the red-veined shell of the Red Grotta and the three towering Faraglioni rocks that puncture the horizon.
