For an anniversary,
or a quiet Tuesday
This day is designed entirely for two. A classic Sorrentine gozzo, the smallest and most intimate boat in the rotation, a captain who knows when to be invisible, and a route built around the kind of slow afternoon that's hard to find on land.
It works for an anniversary. It works for a wedding-eve. It works for a Tuesday when one of you needs the sea more than the other realises. It works as a proposal — captains have done it more times than you'd guess, and they know how to be in the right place at the right hour.
A private chef is available on request. So is a bottle on ice in a cove past Nerano, a stop at a small beach restaurant we know, or simply a bimini, a long swim and a slow ride home into the sunset.
