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. Arriving by sea puts you in the middle of it: the cliffside village of Positano, Amalfi Cathedral and the Cloister of Paradise, Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, the Path of the Gods from Agerola to Nocelle and the Emerald Grotto at Conca dei Marini are all reachable from Amalfi port (Molo Pennello). For the first meal, try scialatielli pasta with seafood, fresh grilled fish of the day and colatura, the anchovy sauce of Cetara.

Haqqi Tours arranges guided tours, tickets, transfers and private drivers in Amalfi; ask when you book the ferry and we send the options.

Best time to take the ferry from Capri to Amalfi

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. For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we look up before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Capri to Amalfi?

For most travellers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Capri and lands you in Amalfi 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 can provide flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Return ferry from Amalfi to Capri

We book the return crossing from Amalfi to Capri just as easily, normally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Capri to Amalfi cost?

The cost of the ferry from Capri to Amalfi depends on the ferry company, 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 check the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.

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.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Capri to Amalfi: how to pay less

• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
