What the day feels like
What the Day Feels Like
You board at La Praia in Praiano and spend seven hours oscillating between relaxed cruising and energetic short stops: scan the cliffs from deck, drift into sea caves, slip over the side to snorkel, then return to the boat’s shaded cockpit for an aperitif from the onboard cooler. The pace is deliberately flexible—landings at towns, beachside restaurant lunches, and the number and length of swims are managed to match the group.
