Timing the Capri ferry
Most Capri hydrofoils and ferries leave from Sorrento's Marina Piccola. If you are connecting to one, tell us the ferry time and we schedule the transfer to arrive with a comfortable margin — luggage handling on the pier takes longer than people expect, and vehicle access to Capri itself is heavily restricted.
Which vehicle?
We match the vehicle to your group and luggage: a sedan for up to 3 passengers, a van for up to 7, a minibus for larger groups. Tell us how many large suitcases you have and we will size it properly.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the Rome to Sorrento transfer take?
About 3.5 hours without stops. Traffic, weather and time of day can add to that, so we plan the pick-up time with a buffer for connections.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. Popular stops are Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples. We agree the stop time in advance so the rest of your schedule stays predictable, and price it separately from the direct transfer.
Where will the driver pick us up and drop us off?
Sorrento's centre is busy and partly pedestrian, and many hotels sit above steep lanes; we confirm the vehicle's access with the hotel beforehand. Your voucher shows the exact meeting point and the drop-off point before you travel.
