Taxi, fixed fare to the port and Piazza MunicipioorAlibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison.

This goes on by hydrofoil to Capri, landing at Marina Grande below the town. It does not stop in Naples on the way.

The Taxi, fixed fare to the port and Piazza Municipio is quicker: 25 min against 2 h.

Taxi, fixed fare to the port and Piazza Municipio: Runs all night. Alibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri: 08:35–17:40, Daily, 1 April to 3 November 2026.

Request the fixed fare before departure and check the meter shows "F0.00"; the driver must issue a receipt first.

From six people this beats the Alibus to the port: EUR 29.00 in a larger taxi against EUR 30.00 in tickets, and it takes you to the pier rather than the bus stop.

No authority publishes a taxi journey time. The figure here is scaled from the Alibus's scheduled 40 to 50 minutes to the port, which stops twice on the way; the taxi does not.

The old town is a cheaper zone. If you are staying in the centro storico rather than by the port, the EUR 21.00 fare applies.

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.
