Timetable and season of the Amalfi to Positano ferry

Sailing times on the Amalfi to Positano route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule frequent sailings in season. Morning departures are normally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Amalfi ferry pier, by the harbour square.

If a sailing is cancelled by the ferry company for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Amalfi ferry pier, by the harbour square

Amalfi ferry pier, by the harbour square is where the Amalfi to Positano ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Amalfi to the port on request
• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together

Arrival: Positano pier, Spiaggia Grande

Arrival is at Positano pier, Spiaggia Grande. Positano is the vertical village of the Amalfi coast, pastel houses stacked above a beach of boats. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your hotel by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

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

Ferry or flight from Amalfi to Positano?

How much does the ferry from Amalfi to Positano cost?

The cost of the ferry from Amalfi to Positano depends on the operator, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.
