You step off the cobbled quay and into the salt-scented air; the Gozzo Fratelli Aprea 32 rocks gently against the mooring as the skipper waves you aboard. The hull slices into the Bay of Naples and Ischia’s cliffs unfold—black volcanic bluffs giving way to pastel villages, sea caves, and bays where the water goes from jade to cobalt.
