Route guide

Sorrento to Capri ferry

Sorrento–Capri is one of the shortest and most convenient routes to Capri for travellers staying on the Sorrentine Peninsula or Amalfi Coast. Caremar operates year-round fast-ferry departures from Marina Piccola.

The official Caremar timetable gives a nominal journey time of around 30 minutes, with several daily departures in each direction. Because of the short sea passage, this route is particularly popular for day trips.

Capri’s seasonal restrictions on non-resident vehicles mean most visitors should travel without a car. Marina Grande has immediate funicular, bus and taxi connections after arrival.

The sea crossing is short, but Marina Piccola can become congested during the visitor season. Allow time to reach the harbour from central Sorrento, keep the return sailing in mind when planning a day trip, and expect Marina Grande on Capri to be busiest around mid-morning arrivals.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.
