The boat slips away from Sorrento at first light and the sea opens like a moving map: white-capped wakes, cliffs cut in strata, and the island of Capri growing larger until its limestone face fills the horizon. Onboard a classic wooden gozzo, the captain trims the sails and the engine hums under conversations about where to anchor, when to swim, and which grotto to enter.

Capri hosted Roman emperors as an imperial retreat while Amalfi was a maritime republic in the Middle Ages, leaving a mix of classical villas and medieval architecture along the coast.
Conservation

Blue Grotto timing
Arrive early or late in the day to reduce wait time for the Blue Grotto; small rowboat access may be required and short queues form.
Protect seagrass
Avoid anchoring or standing on Posidonia meadows when swimming — they’re vital to the coastal ecosystem.

Bring motion-sickness medication if you’re sensitive; open sea stretches can be choppy even on calm days.
