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.

Most fast Capri services use Molo Beverello, while conventional vehicle ferries use Porta di Massa.
Marina Grande is Capri’s main ferry port, with the funicular, buses and taxis immediately available for onward travel.
Hydrofoils, fast ferries and conventional ferries can offer very different travel experiences. Compare seating, luggage rules, accessibility, pet conditions and vehicle eligibility for the exact service.
Hydrofoils and fast craft use passenger seating, while conventional ferries provide larger public areas and more space to move around.
Facilities depend on vessel type and journey length. Larger ferries generally offer more substantial café or bar options than hydrofoils.
Hydrofoils and most fast craft are passenger-only. Vehicle carriage is limited to eligible conventional ferries and can be restricted by island regulations.
Pet rules vary by operator and vessel. Add or declare the animal as required and check carrier, muzzle and designated-area rules before travel.
The assigned vessel can change. Treat the live booking result and current operator information as definitive for facilities, accessibility, vehicle carriage and pet arrangements.
These are domestic Italian ferry journeys, but passengers still need accurate booking details and accepted identification. Vehicle travellers should carry normal registration and insurance documents, while passengers using fast craft or conventional ferries should follow the operator-specific boarding instructions for the selected service.
Use the same passenger name as your accepted identification and keep the document ready with the ticket or mobile boarding pass.
Where vehicles are accepted, book the correct category and dimensions and carry normal registration and insurance documents.
Check the exact Naples or island terminal, operating harbour and check-in deadline. Fast craft and conventional ferries frequently use different terminals.
Marina Grande connects directly with Capri town and onward buses to Anacapri and island attractions.
Check local transport, accommodation check-in and any independently booked onward ferry before travel. Summer traffic and weather can affect short-sea connections.

SNAV publishes a 50-minute fast-craft journey. Caremar fast ferries take about one hour, while conventional ferry journeys are around 1 hour 20 minutes depending on the sailing.

The current operators covered by FerryEU on this route are Caremar, SNAV. Exact departures and vessel type depend on the travel date.

Yes. Foot passengers are accepted on the current passenger services described on this page.
These are short Gulf of Naples crossings and cabins are not normally part of the passenger product. Seating and public areas depend on the assigned vessel.
Pet rules vary by operator and vessel. Add or declare the animal as required and check current documentation and onboard rules before travel.
Follow the check-in deadline on the ticket and allow extra time at busy terminals. Vehicle passengers should arrive earlier than foot passengers, especially in summer.
Capri to Naples ferry guide covers the opposite departure port, arrival arrangements and onward connections.
Use the terminal or pier named on your SNAV confirmation. The published departure is the sailing time; check-in and vehicle acceptance close earlier. If reaching Naples by train or bus, allow for the transfer from the station to the harbour and for luggage handling.
Start your onward itinerary at the actual landing point in Capri. Leave time to unload before a timed collection, train or island bus. If the ferry arrives late in the day, check the final public-transport departure or arrange a transfer in advance.
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.
If driving from Britain, plan the continental approach and any overnight stop before the Italian port. Elba, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily use different mainland gateways; compare the total driving distance after the ferry as well as the sea 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.
