Departure: Amalfi ferry pier, by the harbour square

Your crossing starts at Amalfi ferry pier, by the harbour square. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. Trains reach Salerno and Naples, but there is no railway on the coast itself; buses run along the narrow SS163 and seasonal ferries link Positano, Amalfi, Salerno and Capri. A private car is the simplest choice with luggage, after a high-speed train to Salerno or a flight, and for door-to-door trips between villages and to Rome.

• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the operator's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Amalfi ferry pier, by the harbour square; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation in Amalfi to the port on request

Arrival: Marina Grande, Capri

Onward journeys from Capri - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; tell us and we time the crossing to fit.

Best time to take the ferry from Amalfi to Capri

The ferry from Amalfi to Capri runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. May to September has the best sea and weather, July and August are busiest with day-trippers arriving around midday, and many hotels and boat services close from November to March; ferries and the Blue Grotto depend on sea conditions. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.

For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Amalfi and lands you in Capri itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours offers flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Return ferry from Capri to Amalfi
