Private Gozzo Transfer Between Sorrento and Ischia
A dedicated sea crossing aboard a traditional Sorrento gozzo, on your schedule and without the crowds.
The private boat transfer from Sorrento to Ischia offers a comfortable and unhurried alternative to crowded ferry lines, placing you aboard a classic wooden gozzo for a scenic crossing of the Bay of Naples. Travel at your own pace with no queues, no shared terminals, and no fixed departure windows to chase.
The traditional Sorrento gozzo is a wooden vessel long associated with the fishing and seafaring culture of the Campanian coast. Its low profile and steady hull make it well suited for the open waters between Sorrento and Ischia, delivering a ride that is both practical and genuinely pleasant.
This service operates in both directions, so whether you are arriving on Ischia for a stay or returning to the mainland after your island time, the logistics are handled for you from the moment you step aboard. The crossing takes approximately one hour and forty minutes under normal sea conditions.
Choosing a private transfer means your group has the boat to itself, your luggage is handled with care, and the schedule is built around your needs rather than a timetable set for the masses.

The traditional wooden gozzo departs from the harbour and heads out into the Bay of Naples. The vessel is equipped for comfort during the open-water crossing.
Over approximately one hour and forty minutes, the boat crosses the bay. Passengers can remain seated or move about the deck as conditions allow.
