NAP → Naples · head to head

Pre-booked private transferorAlibus and SNAV hydrofoil to Ischia?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Pre-booked private transfer reaches Napoli Centrale (Piazza Garibaldi), the old town, and the port at Molo Beverello and Piazza Municipio; the Alibus and SNAV hydrofoil to Ischia does not. This goes on by hydrofoil to Ischia, landing at Casamicciola on the north coast, not Ischia Porto. It does not stop in Naples on the way.

The Pre-booked private transfer is quicker: 20 min against 1 h 45.

Pre-booked private transfer: Runs all night. Alibus and SNAV hydrofoil to Ischia: 08:30–19:00, Daily all year; more sailings from June to September.

The boat lands at Casamicciola, not Ischia Porto or Forio; Ischia's other towns are a bus or taxi away, and neither is priced here.

The Alibus stops at Porta di Massa first and Molo Beverello last. SNAV's hydrofoils leave from Molo Beverello, so ride to the end.

The slower ferries to Ischia (Caremar, Medmar) leave from Calata Porta di Massa, the Alibus stop before Beverello, and call at Ischia Porto or Casamicciola; no fare for them is shown here.

The fare changes with the departure and the day; EUR 26.00 is the lowest SNAV showed for a Wednesday in October.
