Morning light slides across the Bay of Naples as a low-slung gozzo hums from the marina, taking you past jagged volcanic cliffs toward Ischia and Procida. Onboard, sea spray cools sun-warmed shoulders; below, turquoise pockets dare you to drop in. The route threads between lava-formed headlands and salt-slick coves, pausing at the Castello Aragonese’s rocky plinth overlooking Ischia’s thermal terraces.
