The boat slips away from Sorrento's port at 08:30, the morning light skimming the sheer cliffs as gulls wheel overhead. Navigation peels past citrus terraces before the hull aligns with Capri's limestone face. Here, water so clear it seems to push back on the hull invites a dip; later the captain eases into quieter coves where students learn rod handling, hand-line techniques passed down by local fishermen.
