Naples–Ischia is one of the principal ferry corridors in the Gulf of Naples, linking the city with Ischia Porto on the island’s north-east coast. Caremar publishes both hydrofoil and conventional-ferry departures across the day.
The quickest current Caremar sailings take about one hour by hydrofoil, while conventional ferries are slower but can carry vehicles where the booking and island-entry rules permit. Departure terminal in Naples depends on vessel type: fast passenger services use Molo Beverello, while conventional ferries use Porta di Massa.
Ischia is a large island by Bay-of-Naples standards, so the arrival port matters. This page covers Ischia Porto rather than Casamicciola; travellers staying around Casamicciola should also compare the separate Naples–Casamicciola route.
When comparing departures, search by the exact Ischia harbour and vessel type rather than price alone. Hydrofoils and conventional ferries use different Naples terminals, and a sailing to Casamicciola is not interchangeable with one to Ischia Porto. Recheck both ports before leaving for the terminal.
Even on Naples to Ischia, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.
Compare current vessel type, journey time, vehicle rules and boarding instructions before choosing your sailing.

These are domestic Italian ferry journeys, but passengers still need accurate booking details and accepted identification. Vehicle travellers should carry normal registration and insurance documents, while passengers using fast craft or conventional ferries should follow the operator-specific boarding instructions for the selected service.
Use the same passenger name as your accepted identification and keep the document ready with the ticket or mobile boarding pass.
Where vehicles are accepted, book the correct category and dimensions and carry normal registration and insurance documents.
