Private Boat Transfer
Private Boat Transfer Between Naples and Procida by Sorrento Gozzo
A dedicated sea crossing that trades crowded ferry terminals for comfort, speed, and open water.
This private boat transfer Naples Procida puts you aboard a traditional Sorrento gozzo for a direct 45-minute crossing between the two destinations, with no shared schedules and no waiting in line.
The Sorrento gozzo is a sturdy, sea-worthy wooden vessel that has served the Bay of Naples for generations. Its broad hull and low profile make for a stable, comfortable ride even when a light chop rolls in from the Tyrrhenian.
Because the service is entirely private, the schedule revolves around you. Whether you are heading to Procida for a day trip, a longer stay, or returning to Naples to catch a connection, the boat departs when you are ready.
The route passes through some of the most photographed coastal scenery in southern Italy, with the silhouette of Vesuvius behind you and the pastel-coloured harbour of Procida ahead, making the crossing itself a worthwhile part of the journey.

This private boat transfer connects Naples, the cultural capital of southern Italy and a major gateway on the Tyrrhenian coast, with Procida, a small volcanic island in the Gulf of Naples designated as Italy's Capital of Culture in 2022. The 45-minute crossing traverses the Bay of Naples, one of the most scenic stretches of Italian coastline, with Mount Vesuvius visible to the east and the islands of Ischia and Capri on the horizon. Naples is served by an international airport and a high-speed rail hub, making it the natural starting point for visitors exploring the Campanian archipelago. Procida, the smallest of the inhabited Neapolitan islands, is known for its pastel-coloured fishing harbour of Marina Corricella, its historic fortified village of Terra Murata, and its largely unspoilt character compared to the more tourist-heavy Capri and Ischia. A private transfer between these two points offers a practical and comfortable alternative to the crowded public hydrofoil and ferry services that operate from the Port of Naples.
