Practical tips
Summer ferries from Capri fill up, especially on weekends and at the end of the day. Reserve your ticket online in advance to secure your seat and avoid being stranded on the island.
Capri has a main harbour, Marina Grande, where most passenger boats leave. Confirm the departure point on your booking before heading down, so you do not end up at the wrong quay.
If you are staying in Capri town or Anacapri, allow plenty of time to reach the harbour. Queues for the funicular and buses peak in the afternoon, so do not plan a tight arrival at the quay.
Rough seas can disrupt sailings. Avoid booking a tight onward train or flight on the same day, and check your operator's updates in the morning so you can adapt calmly if needed.
Decide where you go next before you sail. Salerno works well for the Amalfi Coast and rail connections, but book any onward train or bus early, especially in high season, to avoid paying more at the last minute.
The journey experience
Getting from Capri to Salerno is refreshingly simple: the ferry is the option to focus on, so you can skip the usual debate over train, coach or flight. The comparison table on this page shows duration and price range side by side, so you can see at a glance what the crossing involves before you book.
The journey is a sea crossing from the island's main harbour to the port of Salerno, a handy gateway to the Amalfi Coast and to onward rail connections on the mainland. Expect a passenger vessel with indoor seating, open deck areas for views of the coastline, and space for your luggage near the entrance. It is a comfortable and scenic way to leave the island, and it spares you the stress of crowded coastal roads.
Our advice: book ahead in high season, because summer sailings can sell out and being stuck on the island is the last thing you want. Check the departure port on your ticket and arrive with a good margin. Sea conditions can affect sailings, so keep some flexibility on the day and avoid tight onward connections. Booking online gives you instant confirmation and peace of mind.

How long to visit Salerno?
Salerno deserves 1 to 2 days: spend a day in the medieval old town, the Duomo, the Lungomare promenade and the Arechi Castle viewpoint. With a third day, use it as a base for the Amalfi Coast (ferry from the port is easier than the SITA bus), Paestum's Greek temples or Vietri sul Mare. Book ferries ahead in summer and stay near the station for easy train connections.
