Arrival

When travelling by ferry to Capri, it’s recommended to arrive at Marina Grande at least 30 min before departure. This allows enough time for ticket checks, boarding procedures and any last-minute announcements.

During the high season (June to August) or when departing from busy ports such as Naples or Sorrento, it is best to arrive 30-45 min early to avoid queues and delays.

Capri is served by the Marina Grande, a port located on the north coast of the island. This is the only port handling all ferry and hydrofoil arrivals and departures, including routes from Naples, Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast, Ischia and Procida. There are no separate cargo or secondary passenger ports on Capri.

The port area is well equipped with ticket offices, cafés, snack bars, shops and luggage services, making it easy to grab a coffee or organise onward transport as soon as you disembark.

Marina Grande sits right by the sea, below Capri town, and functions as the island’s main transport hub, with easy connections to the island’s villages and attractions.

How to get to Capri port

The port of Capri is located on the island’s north coast, just a short distance from the famous Piazzetta in Capri town.

• From the center of Capri, you can reach Marina Grande in about 5 min by funicular, which runs frequently throughout the day, or in around 10 min by taxi.
• You can also walk to the port, if you don’t mind an uphill stroll.
• Local buses and taxis connect Marina Grande with Capri town and Anacapri.

Important: Capri has strict vehicle restrictions, so most visitors explore the island on foot or by public transport.
