What you need to know to travel by ferry from Sorrento to Naples

Departure Port: Sorrento Marina Piccola is the departure port for all of these ferries from Sorrento to Naples. It's easy for visitors to locate because it's the only port in Sorrento, used by all departing and arriving vessels. Marina Piccola is, however, a steep walk down from the centre of Sorrento but it only takes about 15 minutes. For those who prefer, or who are carrying heavy luggage, there's a fast and efficient bus service that takes about 12 minutes from Sorrento's main railway station. A lift is also available to make the descent to the lower part of Sorrento even easier. There's no car parking on the port itself but there are car parks in the centre of Sorrento and will require a fee. Marina Piccola itself is a spectacular natural port with great views upwards to Sorrento.

Arrival Port: Molo Beverello in Naples is the port where all of these ferries from Sorrento to Naples arrive. It's one of two ports in Naples so passengers must be sure to check their onward travel is from Molo Beverello rather than Calata Porta di Massa or specify to the company if they are arranging a collection by taxi. Molo Beverello is a half hour's walk from central Naples and most visitors choose either to use one of the taxis available at the port or to use public transport, with a direct bus from the port available, or the Metro system from the Municipio stop which is about a ten-minute walk from the port. There's a coffee shop directly on the port itself which serves basic refreshments.
