Route guide

Naples to Capri ferry

Naples–Capri is one of southern Italy’s busiest island passenger routes. Caremar and SNAV both operate regular services to Marina Grande, with fast craft making the journey in roughly an hour or less.

SNAV publishes a 50-minute high-speed crossing from Napoli Beverello. Caremar’s fast ferry typically takes about an hour, while its conventional ferry is slower and offers a different onboard experience.

Capri has strict restrictions on non-resident vehicles for substantial parts of the year. Most visitors should plan this as a foot-passenger route and use buses, taxis, the funicular and walking after arrival.

Capri departures can be very busy in peak season, so compare the complete day rather than only the headline crossing time. Check whether your sailing leaves from Beverello or Porta di Massa, allow time for boarding queues, and plan onward funicular or bus travel from Marina Grande.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Naples before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Planning the wider journey in Italy

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Naples to Capri fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
