A tall ship in the harbor of Capri with Italy's famous volcano, Mount Vesuvius looming in the background.

The ship looks great but the water is even more beautiful. The color is amazing.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Ohhhhhhhhh, I love tall ships (did you ever see her under sail?) and this is beautiful. She dwarfs the other boats in the scene on that gorgeous blue water. At first I thought I was in Greece! ;D
Well I know Mount Vesuvius isn't in Greece, so I'll concede to Italy. *smile*
This is beautiful!

Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
I need to be on that boat... looks like it would be a great adventure to go on this boat and help 'sail' it... as for the harbour of Capri... ahhhhhh... I was there in 2005 - loved it... I wanted to stay there and saw Vesuvius... never thought I would see that in my lifetime...

@Fliss: It sounds great that you visited. many thanks, Fliss.
@lasiate: Merci, Lasiate.

@dj.tigersprout: I don't really know if they do charters but it is very likely. thanks so much, Jaycee.
