Getting There

Different ways lead to Capri, but you have to cross the water somehow. You can either come by ferry or hydrofoil from either Naples or Sorrento. Transportation from Naples is available either at the port of Magellina or Molo Beverello. However, it is more convenient to depart from Molo Beverello because of the greater frequency of departures and larger selection of ferries and hydrofoils.

From Naples, the ferry takes about 80 minutes and costs about 5,50 Euro. The hydrofoil takes about 40 minutes and costs about 11 Euro.

From Sorrento, the ferry takes about 40 minutes and costs about 4 Euro, while the hydrofoil takes about 20 minutes and costs about 6 Euro.

There will also be a small fee for each sizeable baggage item brought on board. The baggage fee is paid at the time of ticket purchase, and you will be given a special ticket for each bag. Departure and arrival times are available here. The schedule changes frequently; call the individual companies or the tourist office for more accurate times.

If you're not on a budget or are part of a large group, you may choose to get to your destination via private transportation offered by Taxi del Mare or Motoscafisti di Capri. This service is available upon request 24 hours a day, and the boats can pick you up or drop you off anywhere you choose on the island, the Bay of Naples or the Almafi Coast.
