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.
Compare current vessel type, journey time, vehicle rules and boarding instructions before choosing your sailing.

Hydrofoils, fast ferries and conventional ferries can offer very different travel experiences. Compare seating, luggage rules, accessibility, pet conditions and vehicle eligibility for the exact service.
Hydrofoils and fast craft use passenger seating, while conventional ferries provide larger public areas and more space to move around.
Facilities depend on vessel type and journey length. Larger ferries generally offer more substantial café or bar options than hydrofoils.
Hydrofoils and most fast craft are passenger-only. Vehicle carriage is limited to eligible conventional ferries and can be restricted by island regulations.
Pet rules vary by operator and vessel. Add or declare the animal as required and check carrier, muzzle and designated-area rules before travel.
The assigned vessel can change. Treat the live booking result and current operator information as definitive for facilities, accessibility, vehicle carriage and pet arrangements.
These are domestic Italian ferry journeys, but passengers still need accurate booking details and accepted identification. Vehicle travellers should carry normal registration and insurance documents, while passengers using fast craft or conventional ferries should follow the operator-specific boarding instructions for the selected service.
Use the same passenger name as your accepted identification and keep the document ready with the ticket or mobile boarding pass.
Where vehicles are accepted, book the correct category and dimensions and carry normal registration and insurance documents.
Check the exact Naples or island terminal, operating harbour and check-in deadline. Fast craft and conventional ferries frequently use different terminals.
Capri can be explored by funicular, bus, taxi and walking routes from Marina Grande.
Check local transport, accommodation check-in and any independently booked onward ferry before travel. Summer traffic and weather can affect short-sea connections.
