There are several companies that provide ferry and hydrofoil services to and from
Ischia from mainland Italy. From the mainland you can catch ferries and hydrofoils from
Naples or from Pozzuoli which is just a few miles from Naples.
There are three ferry and hydrofoil ports in Naples - Mergellina, Beverello and Porta di Massa. In Ischia there are 3 different ferry and hydrofoil ports -
Forio,
Ischia (Porto) and
Casamicciola.
If you are arriving in Naples at either the main train station (Stazione Centrale) or at the airport (Capodichino), it is best to use either the port of Beverello (for hydrofoils) or Porta di Massa (for ferries). Mergellina is also an option but only if you are planning to stay in that area of Naples overnight or if you happen to be in that area already for any particular reason. The links between the airport and the train station are much easier to Beverello and Porta di Massa. (

For anybody arriving in Naples by car and from the north such as Rome, Florence or Milan, then Pozzuoli is a great option as it means you can avoid the busy streets of Naples and leave the motorway before reaching the city.
The quickest way to get to Ischia is by hydrofoil which takes an hour but is only for foot passengers. The ferry allows you to take a
car and takes about an hour and a half.
Some of the ferries and hydrofoils make a stop in
Procida which is the island that neighbours Ischia.
Prices vary depending on the route taken, the type of craft (ferry or hydrofoil) and the service provider. Ferries are provided by two companies -
Medmar and
Caremar, whilst hydrofoils are used by three companies -
Caremar,
Alilauro and
SNAV.
Ferries:Medmar & Caremar charge €11 for an adult foot passenger and €6 for a child between the age of 4 and 12.
The price to take a car on the ferry depends on the length (in metres) of your car and the prices vary between €43 and €65.
You can buy either single or return journey tickets but there is no cost saving to be made by buying a return ticket.
Hydrofoils:Prices for an adult are €18.60 for a single journey - please note there is no discount for buying a single and a return ticket at the same time.
Children between age 1 and 12 pay €13.90 for a single journey. Babies up to the age of 1 travel free (except with SNAV who charge €3.36 for babies up to the age of 2)
