The Mediterranean opens like a blue invitation as the 40‑foot speedboat slips away from Sorrento’s marina, the wake fanning light across the bow. You feel the island of Capri appear first as a low, rocky silhouette, then a cluster of white villas clinging to limestone cliffs. The captain charts a course around the island, threading between Faraglioni stacks, easing into sea caves, and pausing where the water is clear enough to read the bottom.

Boarding from a marina or ladder requires firm footing—light deck shoes or sneakers work best.
Protect against the sun
Reflected sun off the water increases UV exposure—bring SPF 50, a wide‑brim hat, and polarized sunglasses.
