The bow parts the morning haze and the Amalfi Coast unfolds: sheer limestone walls dropping into water the color of crushed emeralds, fishing boats rocking like pendulums, and the island of Capri rising ahead with its white houses and blue light. On a private yacht the day is paced by the sea — stops to slip into clear water, a quiet drift beneath grotto mouths, and a slow circumnavigation of Capri’s cliffs away from the busiest harbors.
