Procida and Ischia day trips from Naples: ferries, hydrofoils, fares and tours

💡 The Short Version: Procida and Ischia are boats from Molo Beverello and Calata Porta di Massa. Caremar’s ferry is €12.70 to Procida and €14.80 to Ischia each way, and its hydrofoils €17.40 and €21.60. Alilauro’s boat to Ischia is €23.90. Procida adds a €3.50 landing ticket. Procida is the small island and Ischia the one with the thermal parks, so pick one for the day. Or book a tour: the Ischia day trip with ferry tickets and lunchad and the Procida day trip with ferry tickets and lunchad are each from €85 (GetYourGuide), and include the boats and a lunch.

Fares and boats

Fares are the operators’ own, adult, one way.

• Landing ticket: Procida charges €3.50 per person, listed by Caremar among its surcharges (shop.caremar.it). Caremar adds €1 for an online ticket and 12% (minimum €1) for a ticket bought before the day of travel.
• Alilauro’s two fares: €23.90 in its regional band (6:00 to 9:30, 13:00 to 15:00 and 18:00 to 20:30) and €24.10 in its tourist band (9:31 to 12:59 and 15:01 to 17:59). A child aged 2 to 12 is €15.90 and luggage €3.50 (alilauro.it).
• Where the boats leave: the hydrofoils leave from Molo Beverello, by Castel Nuovo and Piazza Municipio, and the slower Caremar ferries from Calata Porta di Massa. Both have a ticket office, a bar, a cash machine and a taxi rank. Caremar serves Ischia’s ports at Ischia and Casamicciola.
• Cost on your own: a return to Procida by Caremar ferry is €25.40 plus €3.50 landing, and to Ischia €29.60.

What to see

Pick one island. The tours and the sailings are built for that.

1. Procida. Landing is at Marina Grande. The listings name Terra Murata, the oldest settlement, and Corricella, a fishing village of brightly painted houses.
2. Ischia. Landing is at Ischia Porto. The Aragonese Castle stands on a rocky islet joined to the island by a stone bridge, and Sant’Angelo is a village of pedestrian lanes. Giardini Poseidon, a thermal park, is at Forio.
3. Between the islands. Caremar’s Ischia to Procida boats make a two-island day possible, but the last boat back is the limit.

The order that works: the early boat, so that a full day is left on the island. What to skip: the second island, unless you have no other free day. The one thing that decides the day: the last boat home. Until 3 November the last Alilauro boat from Ischia to Naples leaves at 19:10 on weekdays and 18:05 on Sundays and holidays, and from 4 November at 19:10.
