Private Boat Transfer Between Capri and Ischia by Traditional Gozzo

A direct, comfortable crossing between two of the Bay of Naples' most celebrated islands, aboard a classic Sorrento vessel.


This private boat transfer from Capri to Ischia — or in the reverse direction — offers a seamless, dedicated crossing aboard a traditional Sorrento gozzo, eliminating the queues, crowded ferries, and unpredictable waiting times that can eat into a limited island holiday.

The journey lasts just over an hour and is operated as a fully private service, meaning the vessel is reserved exclusively for your group. You set the pace, load your luggage without stress, and arrive at your destination refreshed rather than exhausted.

The traditional gozzo is a sturdy, low-profile wooden boat long associated with the waters around Sorrento and the Neapolitan coast. Its design suits these seas well, offering stability and a genuine connection to the maritime heritage of the region.
