The boat slips away from Positano’s harbor and the pastel houses shrink into a mosaic; the Tyrrhenian opens, cool and bright, daring you toward Capri’s chalky cliffs. On a private yacht, the day moves at the guests’ rhythm—stops for snorkeling in emerald coves, a slow circle around the Faraglioni, and a quiet anchorage beneath a grotto where light refracts green on wet rock.

Conservation
