- Richard A1 contributionWe went to Naples to catch the ferry to Capri. Unfortunately the ferry was delayed an hour and that delay forced cancellation of my boat tour around the island.
If you are going to Capri you need to stay overnight on the island to maximize the experienceWritten August 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Buying advance tickets online was easy and saved time day-of. NOTE: you need to exchange your confirmation for an actual ticket. (This is clearly stated in the confirmation email.) Both ferries ran on-time, boarding process was easy and efficient. Seats were plentiful and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but no complaints. PS. I have to agree with another reviewer that they should clean their windows! :)Written June 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MortenNaerbo, Norway3 contributionsOn time, fast, with some movement even on calm seas. There is the possibility to purchase something to drink if needed. When you arrive at the terminal, you can't go wrong as everything is well-signposted and properly labeled.However, (no fault of the ferry) the line at Naples is hell during the summer. The unbearable heat, combined with tents meant to shade you from the sun, creates a greenhouse effect due to the lack of ventilation. You will struggle, so bring something to help you cool down. It's the worst heat I have ever felt, and that was with a heat index of 44°C. On the two previous days, the heat index was 54°C and 56°C, and I would not have survived these tents in that heat.Written July 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Grace S19 contributionsIt was ok. No cabins. Chairs very uncomfortable. Tables in cafeteria not clean. Service in bar for breakfast only one person serving.Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jose yanezMexico City, Mexico314 contributionsOverpriced service, check with all available companies, because you pay here more than double than in other companies that can take you from Naples to Capri in like 20 minutes more of time....is it worth it...I paid 28.50 euros one way while others charge 14.00...is a big differenceWritten August 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WAW-YMX-YULMontreal69 contributionsI wanted to sample a "cruise" in Italy and make my trip efficient by traveling from Naples to Catania at night while I sleep. Located at the front of the ship, the superior cabin was great, bigger than expected with a small fridge (complimentary bottle of water), desk, sufficient lighting and a (dirty) window. The ensuite bathroom features a sink, shower and efficient toilet.
At Naples, Alibus stops right in front of the TTT Lines ferry terminal, which is a little waiting room with convenient, automated luggage lockers (3 euros), English speaking ticketing staff and free wifi, which in itself is an awesome amenity in downtown Naples. Note the weird opening times (closed from 13:00 to 16:30 among others) because you won't have access to your luggage at those times. I got there shortly after noon, picked up my printed tickets, left my luggage and explored the surrounding area (there is a LOT to see in the neighborhood of the ferry terminal).
From the terminal, it's quite difficult to get to the boat: you have to haul your luggage through uneven roads, pass through a gate that is also used by trucks to drive onto the ship and disregard misleading signs (CATANIA arrows in 2 different directions on my way to the boat). Once you get by the boat, you have to haul your luggage by yourself on the same platform as the trucks and then take the escalators to the 2nd floor and check-in. You will be asked to leave your photo ID in exchange for the key. The boarding and check-in process could have been easier and more convenient but I understand that this line mostly caters to truckers and drivers so it wasn't designed for walk-on passengers.
There was plenty of room on the ship as there were only 6-7 people in the cabins and about a dozen truck drivers. There are sitting rooms, a bar and a restaurant that had a simple, Italian-only menu with no options for vegetarians or pescetarians.
Air conditioning and air circulation is pretty loud in the cabin but I found sleeping on board most comfortable. However, the staff will wake you up and make you leave your cabin a FULL HOUR before arrival in Catania (at some point, they were so rushed that I though they would make us jump into the water while the ship was still sailing) so they can clean the ship. Nevermind that you will miss sleep and have to stand for an hour waiting for the ship to dock, as long as they have the time to clean the cabins, that's all it matters. They want you out and they want you out fast...
In that sense, service is TERRIBLE and offers very, very poor value for money. For 150USD per night, not being able to enjoy the sleep and have to stand for an hour before docking is unacceptable. As is often the case in Italy, customers exist to serve employees and not employees to serve customers. On arrival in Catania, a shuttle bus will transport you and your luggage to the entrance of the port where you can walk to the train station (8 minutes) or downtown (6 minutes).
Due to the terrible service, I don't know if I would use this ferry again. The product was 7/10, the value for money was 7/10 but the customer service/staff was 1/10.

Coming back from Capri to Naples, the ferry had no air conditioning working and of course not windows to open or go on deck. We melted from heat. Worst ferry I have ever taken.Written June 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

The boat was big and well appointed. There is not enough space to tell you how much we loved our day.Written July 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen SToronto, Canada3 contributionsThis was a great way to see the Amalfi Coast. Out guide was funny and informative, we could enjoy the tremendous views while our driver handled the crazy roads, and we didn't have to worry about how to find parking in prime tourist season. We had plenty of free time, lunch was included, as well as an extra boat tour to see some of the sites from the water. This was an excellent tour.Written July 20, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bada D1 contributionThe ferry service to Amalfi/Positano and Capri is strictly a transportation option.
Unfortunately, the lack of organization was frustrating. There were no signs or information to indicate which line we should be in, leaving us confused about which boat to board. The boarding process feels chaotic. Onboard, it can get pretty warm.Written August 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
