Direction Capri - The Story
18 APR 2024 · Direction Capri - The Story
At the port there are always people coming and going. There are those who are only passing through and those who pass through every day. One has to know one's way around. There are the ropes that keep the boats moored, ships manoeuvring, someone shouting while tourists walk about distractedly. Harbours are a tangle of lives and stories that have been touched or welded together forever, like that of Luca Lamberti, the founder and captain of Direction Capri. This story begins in the 2000s, when Luca was 15 years old and ran to the port of Salerno every day after school to learn a job, which, as his father told him, would allow him to stay in southern Italy, where opportunities are not always easy to come by.This is how Luca slowly becomes the harbour boy: he stands on the jetties, he moors and cleans boats, chats with customers. It’s not an easy environment, but one that with time, you learn to appreciate. Especially if your guide is François, a descendant of fishermen from whom Luca learns to respect the sea, not to brave the storm and to wait for the bad weather to pass.The days and seasons pass quickly, Luca grows up, takes his licence as a diver, learns to manoeuvre in the harbour and accompanies a few clients out to sea. These are the years of first times and great adventures, a youth a little less carefree than that of his peers, but no less exciting. Indeed, great was the excitement of buying his first boat and, a few years later, establishing Direction Capri, a company born out of commitment and love for his land - a love that Luca inherited from his mother, an Amalfi native for generations.In 2018, Amelia also came on board Direction Capri. It is thanks to her resourcefulness that today, in addition to the boat tours, you can enjoy many other experiences with us to get to know the soul of the Amalfi Coast.
So if you are looking for a real adventure, one of those memories that will remain in your heart, you can only rely on the competence and passion of Luca and the whole team of Direction Capri.
Direction Capri - Places on the Amalfi Coast
18 APR 2024 · Direction Capri - Places on the Amalfi Coast
What does life sound like in summer?The echo of a laugh in an alley, the waves on the rocks, the notes of a song in a piazza, the last toll of a bell.On the Amalfi Coast everything slows down, places and people take on a different tempo: La Dolce Vita is here... Faces marked by the sea and the sun tell stories of waves and boats, and villages with evocative names; Positano, where even the ancient Romans spent their summers; Vietri, famous for its handmade ceramics; Cetara, as authentic as its tuna fisheries; Amalfi, a maritime republic; and Capri, lost in the blue sea.So much history has passed across this tongue of land that has attracted the VIPs of the planet since ancient times. The Roman emperor Tiberius had already chosen Capri as the place to spend the warmer months and it seems that he used the famous Blue Grotto as his private swimming pool!Even in more recent times, the Amalfi coast has not ceased to exert its fascination on prominent personalities such as the magnificent Sophia Loren and the dancer and choreographer Rudolf Nuriev. In 1962, American first lady Jacqueline Kennedy was the guest of Gianni Agnelli in Ravello. There was immediately a great understanding between the two and the gossip was not long in coming... she was soon called home by the then president and husband John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Testifying to her passage here is 'Spaghetti alla Jacqueline', a dish to be enjoyed alongside the flavours that traditionally characterise this area.Men and women attracted by the mystery that surrounds this corner of Italy have left traces of themselves that survive in the memory and atmosphere of these places that year after year are renewed without losing their enchantment. Let yourself be captured by the charm of this land and experience the magic of a world that moves to the rhythm of the sea.
So if you are looking for a real adventure, one of those memories that will remain in your heart, you can only rely on the competence and passion of Luca and the whole team of Direction Capri.
