Catch the Gulf of Naples at its most dramatic: a private yacht leaves Sorrento for Capri as the sun folds toward the sea. Expect short swims, Prosecco at golden hour, and bold coastal views on a relaxed 2.5-hour cruise.

The late-afternoon light bends across the Bay of Naples and the yacht slips free from Sorrento’s quay, engines a low, confident hum. Guests find a place on deck as the coastline unfolds—cliffs streaked in limestone, olive terraces hanging above the sea, and Capri’s silhouette easing into view. The water dares you to dive; the crew sets out towels and snorkel gear and passes chilled Prosecco as the sky shifts.
