If you need to get to the the island of Capri from Naples (Napoli in Italian), there's a wide variety of hydrofoils and ferries to choose from every day. However, getting to the island isn’t always the most simple and relaxing thing to do. You have to consider the chaos of the port of Naples, the tourist crowds, and making connections between different types of transport. In addition, transport companies offer many different tickets and packages in the Bay of Naples to the Capri port, so you need to take the time to evaluate them and see which are best for your needs.
If you want to start your holiday stress-free, consider the many benefits of a private transfer to Capri. Leave your worries behind and browse the information below on the various options for private transportation from the Amalfi Coast to Capri.
Private car transfer + hydrofoil + taxi
A driver will pick you up at the Rome or Naples airport, train station, or your hotel to take you to the port of Naples. At the port, your driver will give you the tickets for the hydrofoil and will guide you to the embarkation point to board your hydrofoil to Capri. You’ll arrive on Capri at the port of Marina Grande. When you disembark you’ll find a driver waiting to accompany you to your final destination on the island. This is the most economical option in terms of value for money.
Car transfer + private boat + taxi
A driver will pick you up at the Rome or Naples airport, train station, or your hotel to take you to the private embarkation pier at the port of Naples. You’ll board a private boat to cross the Gulf of Naples, enjoying your journey without any other tourists, and reaching Capri faster than other shared transport methods. Once you arrive at the tourist port of Capri, a traditional local convertible taxi will be waiting to take you to your hotel. This is a comfortable and hassle free option!
Helicopter transfer
A helicopter transfer is by far the fastest and most spectacular way to get to Capri. The helicopter can depart from various locations (in Naples, it departs from the Naples Capodichino airport) and arrives in Anacapri. Upon arrival on the island you can take a taxi to your final destination.
Luggage transport
Many hotels and villas on Capri are only accessible on foot, so it may not be possible for you and your luggage to arrive directly to your hotel by taxi. For accommodations that aren't accessible by taxi, there's a luggage transport service available at the port of Marina Grande.
Here’s how it works:
Arrival at the port of Capri:
When you arrive at Marina Grande port, whether by public ferry or private boat, you can use the luggage transport service.
This service is managed by luggage transport cooperatives in collaboration with the hotels. In many cases, hotels offer this service directly to their guests, picking up the luggage at the port and delivering it straight to the guest's room.
Luggage pick-up point:
As you disembark from the ferry or hydrofoil, you'll find luggage carts for transport. Your bags will be tagged and delivered directly to your hotel or the specified address, allowing you to move around the island freely without carrying your luggage.
Cost of the service:
The cost of the luggage transport service varies depending on the distance and location of your hotel. Typically, there’s a fixed rate per bag, which increases based on the distance.
Welcome service at the port:
Luxury hotels offer a welcome service at the port, where a hotel staff member greets guests upon arrival, takes care of the luggage, and provides instructions on how to reach the hotel. They can also arrange for a taxi or distribute tickets for the funicular to reach the island's main square.
Transport by funicular or taxi:
If you prefer to handle your luggage yourself, you can take the funicular from Marina Grande to Capri’s Piazzetta or opt for a taxi. Both the funicular and the taxi will take you to the Piazzetta, from which you'll need to continue on foot.

Hydrofoils are ideal for those seeking an economical option without specific needs for flexibility or privacy. However, they can be crowded and offer less comfort and customization.
Private motorboats are the best choice for those who want schedule flexibility, high comfort, and a personalized travel experience, while willing to pay a higher cost. They offer total privacy and tailor-made services but require advance booking.
Port taxes
From April 1st to October 31st, a port tax of 5 euros per person is in effect in Capri for everyone who disembarks on the island. From November 1st to March 31st, the landing tax is 2.50 euros.
For those arriving by hydrofoil, the tax is included in the cost of the one-way ticket, whereas for private transfers, in most cases, it must be paid separately. In some cases, a fee may also be required for embarking and disembarking at the dock of the Capri Tourist Port. The docking fee is 100 euros per boat. Capri transfer companies have their own berths and are therefore not required to pay for the use of the embarkation and disembarkation dock. Details on the payment of these taxes are specified in the service costs (under the headings "included" and "not included").
