About the Naples – Capri crossing
The Italian ports of Naples and Capri are separated by approximately 17 nautical miles across the Gulf of Naples. This domestic Italian route is a primary connection for both residents and visitors to the island, with four companies providing service: Alilauro, Caremar, NLG, and SNAV. Crossing times vary between operators, with the fastest taking just 50 minutes and the longest taking 1 hour and 25 minutes.
Naples to Capri Ferry Schedule
Sailings are scheduled every day, establishing a consistent link to the mainland. The timetable currently shows an early first departure from Naples at 04:00, with the final morning sailing at 10:15. This schedule facilitates day trips to the island and provides early transport options for residents and workers. Fares for a single passenger start from €14, though prices are subject to seasonal changes and vehicle transport costs.
The Port of Naples functions as a major maritime hub in the Campania region. In addition to this crossing, regular ferry services depart from Naples for Ischia, Procida, Sorrento, and the larger Sicilian ports of Palermo and Termini Imerese. Capri itself also has a direct ferry connection to the neighbouring island of Ischia, integrating it into the wider Bay of Naples transport network.

About Capri
Capri has no airport and no bridge, so every visitor arrives by boat at Marina Grande, the island's only passenger port. The two main gateways are Naples (about 45-50 minutes by hydrofoil from Molo Beverello) and Sorrento (the closest mainland port, roughly 20-30 minutes). Fast hydrofoils, catamarans and slower car ferries run year-round, with extra seasonal links from Ischia and the Amalfi Coast between April and October. This guide covers ports, operators, timing and the island's strict car rules.
