A warm salt breeze lifts the chatter from Marina Grande as lights from fishing boats wink into life; a pontoon eases away from the quay and the Amalfi Coast stretches into silhouette. On summer nights around July 29 (Saint Anna) and August 15 (Ferragosto), small-boat flotillas gather offshore so passengers can watch synchronized fireworks erupt over Sorrento and Positano—bursts of color reflected across flat, black water.
