About the Pozzuoli – Ischia crossing
Caremar and Medmar operate four daily sailings on the domestic route connecting Pozzuoli with the port of Ischia.

Onward Connections
Pozzuoli is located on the western edge of Naples, close to the city's Tangenziale ring road. The port provides a direct alternative to the central Naples ferry terminals for vehicle drivers travelling to Ischia. For foot passengers, the Pozzuoli Solfatara station on the Naples Metro Line 2 is located approximately one kilometre from the ferry docks.
From the port of Ischia, travellers can find onward ferry connections to the neighbouring island of Procida. This allows for multi-stop island itineraries within the Gulf of Naples without needing to return to the mainland. The service between Pozzuoli and Ischia operates every day.
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.
