🚌 Departure from Naples
📍Most fast ferries to Capri leave from Molo Beverello, the quay beside Castel Nuovo in central Naples. Some services use Calata Porta di Massa nearby, so always confirm the departure port on your ticket before you go.
🚇From Napoli Centrale station, take Metro Line 1 to Municipio and walk to the quay through the area by the castle. Taxis are available at the station and in the centre, and the port is also reachable on foot from Piazza del Plebiscito.
⏰Departures run throughout the day, with the first boats in the morning and the last in the late afternoon or evening. Frequency is higher in summer and lower in winter, so check the table for current sailings.

Practical tips

💡
Check the port name on your ticket

Naples has several ferry quays, and Molo Beverello and Calata Porta di Massa are separate places. Read the departure port on your confirmation before leaving your hotel, so you don't end up at the wrong quay with a boat about to depart.

💡
Book ahead in high season

In summer and on weekends, popular crossings to Capri fill up quickly. Booking online ahead of time secures your seat, spares you the queue at the ticket office and avoids paying more for a last-minute sailing.

💡
Don't get stuck on the island

Know the time of your last return boat before you explore Capri. Sea conditions can change plans, so avoid cutting it close and keep your return ticket easy to find. A buffer saves you an unplanned and costly night on the island.

💡
Compare companies before you pay

Fares vary by company, boat type and time of day. Compare the options in the table on this page before buying, and choose the crossing that suits your schedule and budget rather than the first one that appears.

💡
Plan your arrival at the port

Allow extra time to find your quay, as the port area is busy and signage can be confusing. Arriving early lets you check the boarding point, find your boat calmly and board without the stress of a last-minute rush.

The journey experience

Getting from Naples to Capri is simpler than most Italian transfers. You don't need to weigh high-speed train against coach or flight: the option to plan around is the ferry, and what matters is picking the right port, the right boat and the right day. The comparison table on this page shows current durations and price ranges side by side.

Ferry services cross the Bay of Naples with views of Vesuvius, the Sorrento peninsula and Capri's cliffs as you approach. Several companies and boat types serve the route, from faster passenger boats to larger ferries, with indoor seating, open-air decks and space for luggage. Boats arrive at Marina Grande, Capri's main port, where the funicular, buses and taxis take over.

Your best move is to book online ahead of time, especially from late spring to early autumn, when popular crossings sell out. Check the departure port on your ticket: Naples has more than one, and Molo Beverello and Calata Porta di Massa are not the same place. Arrive early, keep your return ticket handy, and check the sea conditions on the day, since rough weather can disrupt sailings. Do that and the trip is easy.

What to do in Capri?

Local experiences, must-see sights and activities selected for you

MUST-SEE
🌊
Blue Grotto Boat Visit
The sea cave glows electric blue when sunlight enters underwater. Take a boat from Marina Grande (about 15€ round trip), then transfer to a rowboat (about 18€) plus entry (about 14€). Go between 10am and noon for the best light. The cave closes in rough seas, so check conditions first.
🚡
Funicular to Capri Town
The funicular climbs from Marina Grande to the Piazzetta in about four minutes, for roughly 2,40€ one way. It runs every 15 minutes or so, from early morning until late evening. Buy your ticket at the station and avoid midday peaks when cruise groups arrive. Walk back down via the old stairways.
⛰️
Chairlift up Monte Solaro
From Anacapri, the open single-seat chairlift takes about 12 minutes to reach 589 metres, the island's highest point, with views over the whole gulf to Vesuvius. Expect around 12€ return. Go early or late afternoon for clearer air, and bring a light jacket, as it is windy at the top.
🏛️
Villa Jovis Roman Ruins
Emperor Tiberius's clifftop palace, built in the first century AD, is reached by a 40-minute uphill walk from Capri town along Via Tiberio. Entry costs about 6€. Wear sturdy shoes, bring water, and finish at the viewpoint above the 300-metre cliff. Opening days vary by season, so check locally.
🌺
Villa San Michele Gardens
Built by Swedish doctor Axel Munthe in Anacapri, this villa has a pergola, antique sculptures and a sphinx facing the sea. Entry is about 10€. Arrive at opening time to enjoy the terraces before tour groups, and allow about an hour. Combine it with Monte Solaro in one Anacapri day.
🍋
Limoncello and Lemon Tasting
Capri's lemons are large and fragrant, and local producers in Anacapri make limoncello from them. Visit a small workshop for a free or low-cost tasting, with bottles from about 15€. Ask for a sample before buying, and serve it ice-cold after dinner rather than as an aperitif.
🥾
Sentiero dei Fortini Coastal Walk
This quiet coastal path in the west, near Punta dell'Ogliara, links old fortifications with sea views and few crowds. Allow about two hours, depending on the route. Start from Anacapri, wear grippy shoes and bring water. Check path conditions locally, as sections can be closed after heavy rain.
🌅
Sunset at Punta Carena
Capri's western tip has a lighthouse, rocky bathing platforms and the island's best sunset, with far fewer tourists than the Piazzetta. Take the bus from Anacapri (about 2,40€). Stay for dinner at a seaside restaurant and check the last bus time before the evening.

How long to visit Capri?

1 to 3 days

Capri works as a day trip from Naples or Sorrento, but 2 days let you enjoy the island after the last ferries leave. With one day, take the funicular to Capri town, then a bus to Anacapri and the chairlift up Monte Solaro; skip the Blue Grotto if the sea is rough or the queue is long. With 2-3 days, add the Sentiero dei Fortini or Punta Carena sunset, and book accommodation and ferries well ahead in summer.
