Route guide

Naples to Stromboli: direct seasonal fast ferry to the volcano island

SNAV operates a seasonal direct fast-ferry link from Naples Mergellina to Stromboli. The published 2026 schedule shows a 14:30 departure from Naples and 19:00 arrival at Stromboli, around 4 hours 30 minutes.

Stromboli is the first Aeolian call on the service, which then continues to Panarea, Salina, Vulcano and Lipari. This makes the route especially convenient for travellers who want to reach the island from Naples without changing in Sicily.

The service uses a high-speed passenger craft. Cars are not carried, and Stromboli itself is best approached as a foot-passenger destination.

Even on Naples to Stromboli, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.

For Naples to Stromboli, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.
