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.

Tour Highlights

Travel in full safety aboard a well-maintained traditional Sorrento gozzo with an experienced local skipper.

Fully private service — your group has exclusive use of the boat throughout the entire crossing.

Flexible scheduling tailored to your travel plans, with no mandatory departure times to work around.

Relaxed luggage handling without the stress of crowded ferry terminals or shared transport queues.

Enjoy open views of the Bay of Naples, with the silhouettes of Vesuvius and the Sorrento Peninsula visible along the route.

Available in both directions — Sorrento to Ischia or Ischia to Sorrento — making it ideal for one-way island itineraries.
