Timetable and season of the Sorrento to Ischia ferry

Sailing times on the Sorrento to Ischia route depend on the operator and the month - as a rule 1-2 a day (April-October). Morning departures are typically 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 Sorrento Marina Piccola.

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

Departure: Sorrento Marina Piccola

The ferry from Sorrento to Ischia leaves from Sorrento Marina Piccola, in Sorrento - Sorrento sits on cliffs above the Bay of Naples, the base for Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi coast, with lemon groves and Piazza Tasso. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: An airport shuttle bus and the Circumvesuviana train link Naples and Sorrento in about an hour and suit light luggage; a private car from the terminal is more comfortable for families, late arrivals or a hotel on the cliff or in villages beyond Sorrento, as the coast road can be very slow in summer.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Sorrento Marina Piccola; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation in Sorrento 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

Arrival: Ischia Porto

You step off at Ischia Porto, close to Lacco Ameno and Forio and the west-coast beaches. Buses circle the island and small taxis serve the towns, while ferries and hydrofoils link Ischia Port, Casamicciola and Forio with Naples and Pozzuoli. Restrictions on visitors' cars apply for much of the year, and there is no direct link from Naples Airport to the ports. A private car is the easiest way between the airport and the ferry, and from the island port to hillside hotels with luggage. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

On board the Sorrento to Ischia ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

On board, the ferry from Sorrento to Ischia is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. The fast boats are passenger-only, so bags stay with you.

• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
• Passengers only - luggage stays with you
• Children's fares by age; infants generally free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - let us know if one is travelling

Things to do in Ischia after the ferry

Ischia is the green volcanic island of thermal gardens, the Aragonese castle and long beaches. Start with Maronti beach, the white church on the Forio promontory and the mushroom-shaped rock of Lacco Ameno, then Citara beach and the Aragonese Castle. A tip from our desk: Send us your flight and ferry or hydrofoil times and your port of arrival; Ischia has several ports, so tell us whether you land at Ischia Port, Casamicciola or Forio.

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

Best time to take the ferry from Sorrento to Ischia

May to October is the main season, with July and August the busiest and hottest months; spring and autumn are ideal for the thermal parks and walking, and many hotels close 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 check before you plan.

How much does the ferry from Sorrento to Ischia cost?

Ferry prices from Sorrento to Ischia 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 check the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp before you decide.

Ask us for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Sorrento to Ischia ferry.
