The sun lifts off the Tyrrhenian and the wooden hull of a traditional gozzo cuts a clean arc toward Capri. Salted spray hits your face as the skipper trims the sails and navigates the island’s coastal teeth—sea caves, sheer cliffs, and the slender silhouettes of the Faraglioni. You circle the island at a pace that lets the water set the rhythm: stops for swimming in cobalt bowls, time to snorkel, and a skim past the dramatic entrance to the Blue Grotto.
