Naples to Capri by ferryThe Iconic Ferry From Naples to Capri: A Scenic Ride Across the Bay of Naples

Being born in Sorrento, I have taken the ferry from Sorrento to Capri many times, but for my pre-honeymoon trip we left from Naples (closer to where we live now) to arrive directly in Capri. Taking the ferry from Naples to Capri is one of those journeys that feels like part of the destination itself: scenic, refreshing, and a perfect introduction to the island. Returning to Capri is always a great emotion for me and this crossing was part of it!
This pic is unfiltered: the blue sea of Capri.
Route overview
The ferry from Naples to Capri takes between 50 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on the type of ferry and sea conditions. The route covers about 30 kilometers (19 miles) across the Bay of Naples, departing from Napoli Beverello (the port we chose) or Calata Porta di Massa.
Transportation experience
I booked my ticket online a few days in advance, especially because ferries can fill up quickly in high season and I was already sure of the travel date and times (we went in June). Boarding was smooth and well organized and honestly the thing I remember best is the desire to arrive on this incredible island.
Departure station
For sure Naples Beverello port can feel a bit chaotic, but once you find your ferry company, everything becomes straightforward. We arrived early to avoid stress and carry our luggage calmly.
Arrival station
Arriving in Capri is unforgettable, one of my favorite views ever. The marina is lively and colorful, with boats, shops and views that instantly set the mood. Also worth mentioning is the scent of the sea which is even more intense on sunny days!
Schedule & frequency
Ferries run frequently throughout the day, roughly every 1-2 hours, with more options in summer. This time of year can be very busy so again my advice is to book with Omio as early as possible to secure a spot.
Onboard experience & services
We chose a fast ferry, which was comfortable and efficient. Sitting outside for part of the journey made it even more special, with incredible sea views and an incredibly pleasant summer breeze.
Ticketing advice & budget breakdown
We paid around €25 each for our tickets but I’d like to point out that prices may vary in a range between €20 and €40, depending on the ferry type and especially if it is high season.
| Item | Cost (eur) |
|---|---|
| Ticket price | €25 |
| Food & drinks | €5 |
| Travel to departure station | €2 |
| Travel from arrival station | €3 |
| Total | € 35 |
Top tips & recommendations
- Remember to book in advance during summer months.
- Sit outside if weather allows, the views and occasional splashes of sea water are worth it.
- Check sea conditions if you’re prone to severe seasickness and consider taking the next ferry.
- Seasickness? Eat lightly before departure (avoid fasting and heavy meals) and, above all, focus on the horizon.
Conclusion
The Naples to Capri ferry is more than just “a (fast) boat”: it’s part of the experience. Relaxing, scenic, and unforgettable, it’s the perfect way to reach the island and glimpse a bit of Dolce Vita.

Advantages
Fast connectionGood conditionDisadvantages
No connection during lunchtimeFor the crossing from Naples to Capri, you can choose between two shipping companies. These are fast ships that cover the distance in about 45 minutes and depart every hour. Both ferry companies alternate so that there is effectively a connection every 30 minutes. There don't seem to be any problems with sold-out seats, so it's fine to buy at short notice. There seems to be a lunch break because no ships sail between 11am and 2pm. The ship's bar offers drinks and snacks at really moderate prices.
