You step onto the low-slung wooden boat at Sorrento’s marina and the sea takes the lead — waves rock the hull and the coastline unfolds like a series of terraces falling into the Mediterranean. The captain, a seasoned local who started life as a fisherman, points the bow toward Li Galli; the islands, cliffs and villages slide past as the boat hums along.
