The boat slips away from Sorrento’s marina as the light thins, the sea pulling the horizon toward a slow, molten hush. On deck, Prosecco chills in the minibar, and the skipper plots a quiet arc along the coastline so you can watch the sun sink behind Capri’s silhouette and the coastal stacks that punctuate the Gulf of Naples.
