Ferry or flight from Capri to Positano?

Ferry versus plane between Capri and Positano comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.

Return ferry from Positano to Capri

We book the return crossing from Positano to Capri just as easily, generally 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 Positano cost?

Ferry prices from Capri to Positano 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 verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp 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 frequently the best value for a family.

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

The cheapest ferry ticket from Capri to Positano is normally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our team applies:

• 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
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day frequently changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger

Timetable and season of the Capri to Positano ferry

Several a day (April-October) - that is how frequently the ferry from Capri to Positano runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter.

Departure: Marina Grande, Capri

The ferry from Capri to Positano leaves from Marina Grande, Capri, in Capri - Capri is the island of the Blue Grotto, the Faraglioni rocks and the Piazzetta, a short boat ride from Naples and Sorrento. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: From Naples Airport a bus or taxi takes you to the port, and a ferry then crosses to Marina Grande; that works with light luggage and a fixed ferry time. A private car from the terminal to the ferry quay, or straight to Sorrento for the shorter crossing, is simpler with luggage or children; on Capri itself small local vehicles take over because visitor cars are restricted in summer.

• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Capri to the port on request
• Let us know 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
