carolinesmom Posted June 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2012 We're still trying to figure out what we are going to do for our Naples stop. We're thinking of booking a 3 or 4 hour tour on Gianni's Boat from the marina in Capri and then trying to get to Anicapri. Not sure if it will be possible to do both. Has anyone attempted something like this. Is it doable or is it too much for one day? We are in Naples from 7am to 7pm on August 9 with LOS. We're 3 families with a total of 10 children between 8 and 16. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted June 11, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2012 You have plenty of time to do both. If you are off the ship and on a ferry by 8 AM you'll be on Capri by 9. Your four hour tour would be over by one, leaving you three more hours to explore Capri, or even four hours if you take a 5 PM ferry (putting you back at the cruise port by 6 PM, an hour before sail time).

jarand Posted June 12, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2012 We are considering the same thing. I wonder if any of the boat companies pick you up at the port and what the extra cost would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted June 12, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If I understand your question correctly, the answer is no. The boat operators on Capri will not come up to Naples to pick you up, you need to take a ferry or jet boat out to the island. The Capri tour operators will meet you at Marina Grande, where the boats from Naples drop you off. You may be able to hire a yacht from Naples for a full day, to include a ride out to and around Capri. Here's a source for chartering a yacht with an English speaking captain: http://www.amalficoastyacht.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarand Posted June 12, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thank you. I appreciate knowing that. Any suggestions on taking the ferry vs the hydrofoil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted June 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2012 From Molo Beverello, the pier right next to the cruise port, the boats are all pretty much the same. Car ferries go from a different pier. As you walk toward Molo Beverello from the cruise port you'll see a large sign board that lists the next few boats, you simply pick the next one going to Capri and buy your ticket from that company.

carolinesmom Posted June 14, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks so much for the information. I've read that we should buy our return ferry tickets in the morning. Are they timed? If so, I'm guessing we need to get a ferry back around 4:30 to be safe (our ship departs at 7pm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
