Amy Schumer’s Italy Yacht Trip Looks Like the Best Post-Memorial Day Weekend Ever

Amy Schumer is not easing into summer. She is launching into it at full speed, on a jet ski, in a red swimsuit, somewhere off the coast of Italy.

The comedian and actress posted a 20-slide carousel on Instagram Wednesday, captioned only “Travel,” and it delivered. The photo dump covered the full range of a yacht vacation done right: jet skiing, paddle boarding, soaking up the sun on a tender, and at least one dinner-ready silk slip dress moment that people are still talking about.

That dress — rosy, floor-length, plunging neckline with tie-bow straps — came out during the yacht portion of the trip, and Schumer wore it the way you wear something when you feel good. She kicked off her shoes during the ride. The whole vibe of the carousel was someone who has arrived at a summer they’ve been looking forward to.

The other thing the photos are making clear: Schumer’s 50 lb. weight loss, which she’s addressed publicly before, is visible throughout the trip. Us Weekly and People both noted it in their coverage, and the reaction in the comments has been overwhelmingly warm.

Gene, her 7-year-old son with husband Chris Fischer, is part of the trip and shows up in several moments throughout the carousel. The two of them on the water together is the kind of image that makes everyone feel slightly worse about their own long weekend.

Schumer has been in a lighter public chapter lately — less press-circuit, more life. The Italy trip reads exactly like that. No promotional hook, no launch to announce. Just a 20-photo drop of a really good few days on a boat with her kid and her friends.

Summer is officially on.
