The boat slips away from Sorrento as the sky begins to thin from gold to orange; the sea catches that light and seems to push you forward toward Capri. On this shared sunset-and-night cruise you skirt the Sorrentine coastline past the small fishing harbor of Marina Grande and past sun-bleached Roman ruins, the cliffs quieting as day crowds thin.
