The boat nose parts the morning glass outside Marina Piccola and the Amalfi Coast slides into view — cliffs dropping sharp into blue, villages stacked like blocks of color. On a private excursion from Sorrento, the captain sets the rhythm: a brisk open-run to Capri, slow circles by its grottoes, then a measured glide along Positano’s vertical streets.
