  1. DAY 01

    Naples

    Embark in Naples and slip out past Castel dell'Ovo as the city lights warm. A short evening cruise tucks you behind the headland off Sorrento for a quiet first night aboard.

    Aurora at the Bellevue Syrene for a romantic first night
  2. DAY 02

    Capri

    Tender into the Blue Grotto at dawn before the day boats arrive, then circumnavigate the island for the Faraglioni arches. Capri is best from the water — and best at the edges of the day.

    • Swim through the Faraglioni Arch for luck
    • Chairlift up Monte Solaro from Anacapri
    • Limoncello tasting in the back lanes of Capri Town

    Lunch at La Fontelina on the rocks; dinner at Da Paolino under the lemon trees
  3. DAY 03

    Li Galli

    A morning at Li Galli — the private islands once owned by Nureyev. Crystal water, no crowds, and three little uninhabited islets to drift between.

    • Swim the channel between Gallo Lungo and La Castelluccia
    • Paddleboard along Nureyev's old villa
    • Anchorage lunch served on deck
    • Afternoon SUP and snorkel session
    Anchorage
    Day anchor between the three islets (no overnight permitted)
    Dining
    Lunch aboard — chef's antipasti
  4. DAY 04

    Positano

    Anchor below the pastel cliffs of Positano. Beach lunch at Da Adolfo on Laurito (red-fish flag, wood-fired everything), then evening stroll up Via Cristoforo Colombo.

    • Climb the stairs through Positano's bougainvillea lanes
    • Sunset Negroni at Franco's Bar

    Da Adolfo (lunch) · Franco's Bar (aperitivo) · La Sponda at Le Sirenuse (dinner)
  5. DAY 05

    Amalfi

    The town that gave the coast its name. Visit the Duomo's striped Arab-Norman façade, then cruise east past the Furore fjord and Conca dei Marini's emerald grotto.
