The morning light off Marina Piccola fractures across the water as the jetfoil slips toward Capri; aboard a traditional gozzo the island grows like a story pulled from limestone and sea. Waves nudge the boat toward the caves—white, green and the weather-dependent Blue Grotto—each opening a different mood in the rock. The Faraglioni rise like three watchful spires as swimmers slip off the stern and the Tyrrhenian dares you into the blue.

Bring seasickness remedies
