More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The outboard hum drops to a steady whisper as Sorrento narrows into a ribbon of pastel houses and sheer limestone cliffs. From a 40' private yacht the island of Capri reads like a coastal atlas: Faraglioni stacks rising from deep blue water, marina coves where fishing boats bob, and cave mouths that look like dark invitations. Sea spray tastes faintly of salt and citrus; the captain points out Punta Carena and the white streaks of ancient sea caves as the coastline slides by.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The boat provides towels and snorkel kits, but reef-safe sunscreen protects underwater life and prevents sun damage on long days at sea.
