Ferries to Ischia

Casamicciola ferry port lies in the north of the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples and is the island's second ferry port after Ischia Porto. From here you can reach eight destinations, among them Procida, Naples and Pozzuoli, plus Capri and, less often, Amalfi, Positano, Ponza and Ventotene. Together the connections add up to as many as 56 departures a day. Crossings take between 15 minutes and 2.5 hours. Five operators call at the port, among them Capitan Morgan, Caremar and Laser Capri Linee Blu.

Getting there and the terminal

The berth is called Marina di Casamicciola and can be reached over the island's road network. For Casamicciola, Caremar lists a ticket office, a bar, a cash machine, a taxi rank, a newspaper kiosk and a covered waiting area for passengers. The operator's ticket office is staffed daily from 8am to 5pm.

Check-in

Caremar does not issue its boarding card in purely digital form. You have to collect it at the ticket office of the departure port before the security check, or you will not get on board: allow time for that before departure. Foot passengers can book online until 90 minutes before departure, and travellers with a car or motorbike until seven hours before. If you are taking a vehicle, you are far better off at the quay early than at the desk in the last quarter of an hour.
