From

Runs

Journey
85–130 min
Cheaper than Curreri's direct coach (EUR 9.60 against EUR 13.00) but slower once the change is counted, and on two tickets from two operators.
The Circumvesuviana calls at Pompei Scavi Villa dei Misteri on the way, useful for the ruins without a separate ticket.
Campania Express, EAV's faster air-conditioned train on the same line, normally costs EUR 15.00 one way with a reserved seat, but EAV has suspended it from 1 October 2026 until further notice — check before you plan around it.
Alibus→NLG · ANM and NLG (Navigazione Libera del Golfo)Alibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri
From
The Alibus stop outside the terminal
To
Marina Grande, Capri, by NLG hydrofoil from Molo Beverello
Luggage
NLG carries one free piece up to 50x30x15 cm and 5 kg; a suitcase is checked in for EUR 5.00 a piece.
Runs
08:35–17:40
Journey
120 min
The Capri landing contribution of EUR 5.00 (April to October) is added to NLG's ticket price, so the EUR 23.00 and EUR 25.00 fares become EUR 28.00 and EUR 30.00.
A suitcase is not free on NLG: one piece up to 50x30x15 cm and 5 kg travels without charge, and larger luggage is checked in at EUR 5.00 a piece.
The Alibus stops at Porta di Massa first and Molo Beverello last. NLG's hydrofoils leave from Molo Beverello, so ride to the end.
NLG's timetable runs to 3 November 2026; check its site for a later date.
The slower ferries to Capri leave from Calata Porta di Massa, the Alibus stop before Beverello, and no fare for them is shown here.
NLG refunds the ticket if it cancels a sailing for technical reasons or sea conditions.
