Salerno is the eastern gateway to the Amalfi Coast, and the seasonal boat to Amalfi takes about 35 minutes from the Piazza della Concordia pier, a short walk from Salerno station where high-speed trains from Rome and Naples arrive. Boats run frequently from about April to October, some continuing to Positano, and they are much quicker than the road in summer traffic.

Arrival: Amalfi ferry pier, by the harbour square

The ferry docks at Amalfi ferry pier, by the harbour square - Amalfi is the historic maritime republic that gave the coast its name, a compact town around a grand cathedral stairway, with paper mills in its valley and Ravello above. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from the port to your hotel in Amalfi with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Salerno to Amalfi crossing.

Many travellers continue from Amalfi to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board the Salerno to Amalfi ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

• Children's fares by age; infants typically free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths

Things to do in Amalfi after the ferry

Amalfi is the historic maritime republic that gave the coast its name, a compact town around a grand cathedral stairway, with paper mills in its valley and Ravello above. Start with Amalfi Cathedral and the Cloister of Paradise, Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone in Ravello and the Path of the Gods from Agerola to Nocelle, then the Emerald Grotto at Conca dei Marini and the fjord of Furore. A tip from our desk: Send us your train or flight details and your hotel's exact location; most village centres are pedestrian, so drop-off is at the nearest permitted point and the last part may be on foot or by steps.

We offer tours and transfers in Amalfi as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to take the ferry from Salerno to Amalfi

The ferry from Salerno to Amalfi 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, June, September and early October are best, with a warm sea and fewer crowds; July and August are hot and very busy, with heavy traffic on the coast road, and many hotels and ferries reduce services from November to March. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.

How much does the ferry from Salerno to Amalfi cost?

Ferry prices from Salerno to Amalfi move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we look up the fare for the day you want to sail and send it in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.
