About the Capri – Ischia crossing
Two departures a day is the whole direct service between these islands. Alilauro runs Capri to Ischia at 10:45 and 17:15, both every day, and there is nothing in between. Getting the timing wrong here does not mean waiting an hour — it means waiting six and a half, or routing through Naples instead.
Fifty minutes, twenty nautical miles
The crossing runs 50 minutes over roughly 20 nautical miles of the Bay of Naples, west past the Sorrentine peninsula. Fares start at about €22.90. This is a passenger service: cars do not travel on it, which for most visitors is irrelevant, since both islands restrict non-resident vehicles during the season anyway.
Why the pair of times makes sense
The morning boat lands in time for a full day on Ischia; the evening one is for people moving between islands at the end of a stay rather than sightseeing. Neither is a connection you would use for a day trip in both directions — the schedule does not allow it.
Season limits
These sailings are timetabled from 1 June to 30 September 2026. Direct island-to-island links in the Bay of Naples are seasonal by nature; outside those dates the usual route between Capri and Ischia is via Naples, with a change.
Your destination
About Ischia
This green, volcanic island in the Bay of Naples trades Capri's glamour for thermal spa gardens and hot springs — and like its famous neighbour, it's reachable only by sea, with no airport or bridge to the mainland. Fast passenger hydrofoils cross from Naples' Molo Beverello in roughly 50 minutes to just over an hour; slower car ferries sail from Naples' Calata Porta di Massa or from Pozzuoli, which is closer, cheaper and the smart choice if you are bringing a vehicle.
