The Sorrento - Ischia ferry route run from April through October.

There are two departures (morning and afternoon) from Sorrento to Ischia, and vice versa.

The ride from Sorrento to Ischia is about 60 minutes.

Getting to the Sorrento Port

Ferries depart from the Marina Piccola port in Sorrento. You can reach the port on foot by taking the stairs down from Piazza Tasso, or by taking the elevator from the Villa Comunale park (EUR 1).

If you are staying outside the center of Sorrento, take the Cooperativa Tasso or EAV bus. Ask your hotel where to find the nearest bus stop. The bus is also a convenient way to get back to the center of Sorrento from the port without having to take the stairs back up.

Tickets

Ferry tickets to Ischia can be purchased online or directly at the port, and payment is accepted in cash or by credit card.

Children under 2 ride free; children 2-12 have discounted tickets (around EUR 13).

There is a EUR 2 supplement for each bag; EUR 4 for pets; EUR 6.50 for bikes.

Getting to Ischia from Sorrento

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the ferry to Ischia stops on Procida...be careful not to get off on the wrong island! On the remaining days, the ferry runs direct to the Ischia Porto ferry terminal.

Can I take a day trip to Ischia from Sorrento?

Yes, but keep in mind that you will arrive on Ischia at 10:30AM and the return ferry departs at 5PM. You can visit the Aragonese castle and take a drive around the island via taxi, but you won't have time to unwind at one of the island's thermal spas. If you'd like to spend a day at the spa, we recommend planning an overnight.
