How long does the ferry take from Naples to Capri?
- Slow Ferry: 80 minutes
- Ferry: 50 minutes
- >High speed ferry - Catamaran: 40 minutes
The only way to reach Capri is by sea. Ferries depart from Naples and Sorrento;
in the summer, there are also routes from Positano, Amalfi, Salerno, and Ischia.
For most of the year, motor vehicles are forbidden on Capri:
non-resident vehicles can be embarked for the island only for the months between November and Easter.
Regardless, there isn't much use for vehicles on Capri: there is only one road on the island, and there is excellent public transport.
Ferries from Naples to Capri depart from two ports: the Molo Beverello and the Calata Porta di Massa.
The Molo Beverello is located opposite the Maschio Angioino, and the Calata di Massa is located about a kilometre
to the east (to the left, facing the sea). The Alibus bus that runs from the Naples airport stops at both ports.
From Molo Beverello, all high speed ferries depart; from Calata di Massa, instead, ferries and slow ferries depart,
the only ferries which transport motor vehicles.
High speed ferries are faster and more expensive than ferries and slow ferries.
The ticket for the high speed ferry from Naples to Capri costs around EUR 20,
while tickets for the ferry and slow ferry cost around EUR 15.
Tickets can be easily purchased directly at the pier of departure, but we recommend arriving early at the pier during the months
f July and August and during the weekends to avoid the risk of finding tickets sold out.
Tickets can also be purchased in advance online through TraghettiLines service.
You will still have to stop at the ticket window before boarding to pick up your tickets, however.
There is a small surcharge for baggage.
The road will take you straight in the Main Square of Amalfi: “Piazza Flavio Gioia” .
Once there you will find traffic police, ask them to let you pass with the car to go to “Bar Flavio Gioia”
where Mr Andrea Bottone is waiting for you for the check-in procedure.
Andrea will also take care of your car providing you have booked the private garage service at
the cost of € 25 for a car and € 35 for a SUV.
