Taxi, fixed fare to the port and Piazza MunicipioorAlibus and SNAV hydrofoil to Ischia?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Taxi, fixed fare to the port and Piazza Municipio 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 Taxi, fixed fare to the port and Piazza Municipio is quicker: 25 min against 1 h 45.

Taxi, fixed fare to the port and Piazza Municipio: Runs all night. Alibus and SNAV hydrofoil to Ischia: 08:30–19:00, Daily all year; more sailings from June to September.

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 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.
