Italy → Italy

Ischia to Naples Ferry

Start with the harbour closest to your island base. Ischia Porto, Casamicciola and Forio are separate departure points for Naples, and their ferries and hydrofoils do not all arrive at the same mainland pier.

Route guide

Plan your ferry from Ischia to Naples

A ticket labelled Ischia–Napoli is only useful once you have confirmed the departure harbour. Ask your transfer driver for the specific quay on the ticket, especially if leaving before breakfast or travelling with several bags.

For a morning train or flight, check the complete crossing from your particular port. Caremar’s published timetable includes a 06:20 hydrofoil arriving at 07:25, and a separate 12:55 ferry marked as departing from Casamicciola. Caremar’s Naples–Ischia timetable.

If your hotel is in Forio, Alilauro’s dated Forio–Beverello service can avoid a road journey to Ischia Porto. Several departures are marked via Ischia and some run only on working days. Use the island-origin column for your date. Alilauro’s dated Forio timetable.

Two Naples tickets can have different terminal arrangements. Confirm whether the ship lands at Beverello or Porta di Massa, then check the route to Napoli Centrale or the airport from that particular pier.

For an overnight stay before a flight, compare an afternoon ferry with your first available sailing on flight day. A seat price alone does not cover a replacement train or the time needed if weather changes the sailing.

Ferry operators on the Ischia–Naples route

Compare Caremar for ferries and hydrofoils with Alilauro for passenger services. A hotel transfer to Forio, Casamicciola or Ischia Porto is part of the real cost, particularly when travelling as a family.

Caremar

On Caremar’s return timetable, the 13:00 hydrofoil takes an hour to Naples. The 15:30 ferry is shown arriving at 17:10. Use a ferry offering garage space for a vehicle and the dated arrival for your mainland plans.

Caremar lists different tariffs for a passenger, a car up to four metres and a longer car. A passenger-only hydrofoil fare is a different product. Compare the correct vehicle length plus all passenger tickets and applicable charges. Caremar fare table.

Departure · Italy

Ischia Ferry Port

Ischia Porto is the main harbour on the island and a major hub for buses, taxis and onward local ferries.

Confirm the harbour name before you leave your accommodation. A departure marked Casamicciola is not at Ischia Porto, even when both appear on one timetable under the island heading.

Arrival · Italy

Naples Ferry Port

Naples uses different terminals according to vessel type. Hydrofoils generally use Molo Beverello, while conventional vehicle ferries use Porta di Massa.

In Naples, allow time to leave your ship before arranging transport beyond the pier. Give a taxi company both the arrival terminal and vessel name, as the waterfront has multiple passenger landings. Caremar ticket-office maps.

On board

Your Ischia–Naples crossing

Use the facilities listed for the ship on your departure. Vessel assignments and onboard services can change.

Seating & comfort

Hydrofoils and fast craft use passenger seating, while conventional ferries provide larger public areas and more space to move around.

Food & drink

Facilities depend on vessel type and journey length. Larger ferries generally offer more substantial café or bar options than hydrofoils.

Vehicle travel

Hydrofoils and most fast craft are passenger-only. Vehicle carriage is limited to eligible conventional ferries and can be restricted by island regulations.

Pet travel

Pet rules vary by operator and vessel. Add or declare the animal as required and check carrier, muzzle and designated-area rules before travel.

Before departure

Prepare for check-in at Ischia

For your Ischia to Naples sailing, keep the booking confirmation and any identification required by the operator ready. Check ticket collection, check-in and boarding instructions before leaving for Ischia.

Your departure terminal

Use the terminal named on the Ischia booking confirmation. Plan the route to check-in, including any parking or drop-off arrangements, before departure.

Passenger and vehicle details

Check names and travel details before you arrive. If taking a vehicle, enter its full dimensions and include trailers, roof loads or rear-mounted equipment where required.

Travel documents

Use current official guidance for documents, entry permissions and any vehicle or pet requirements that apply to your journey. Requirements depend on your circumstances and can change.

After arriving

Continue your journey from Naples

Naples has metro, suburban rail, buses and national rail links, while many central sights and ferry areas are within a compact core.

Spaccanapoli, major churches, markets and many food stops are best explored on foot.

Napoli Centrale and the city metro provide useful links for Pompeii, Rome and wider Italy.

For an onward island-hopping journey from Naples, check the departure quay as well as the arrival pier. Travelling via one city does not imply that both boats will use the same Naples boarding area.

For an onward connection from Naples, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.
