You push off from the small marina as the island slides into view: chalk-white cliffs, the jagged Faraglioni stacks, and the sudden pockets of sea that glow green and blue. The boat hums, the pilot points to a narrow mouth in the rock, and the group leans forward—this is a day on the water around Capri.
