The public shipping line of the Gulf of Naples. It links Naples with Procida, Ischia and Capri by hydrofoil from Molo Beverello and by ferry from Porta di Massa.

## What Caremar is

Caremar S.p.A. is the Naples-based shipping line that keeps up the scheduled service to the islands of the gulf. It serves seven ports and boasts of having them connected every day of the year. It uses two types of vessel: the aliscafo, fast and passenger-only, and the traghetto, the large ferry that also carries cars and motorbikes. The timetables also show units called TMV; the website does not describe them, but does make clear that they admit bicycles. The network covers:

Naples, from Molo Beverello and from Porta di Massa (Calata Massa);

Pozzuoli, the port closest to Procida and Ischia;

Procida, Ischia port and Casamicciola;

Capri, and the Sorrento–Capri line.

There are also links between islands, such as Procida–Ischia. Timetables change with the season and are checked on the website or in the app. In addition, notices are published when the sea forces departures to be cancelled.

## How to buy the ticket

You buy on the website, in the My Caremar app or at the port ticket offices. Online you pay by card, with a surcharge of €1 per ticket. Passenger tickets are sold up to 90 minutes before departure and car or motorbike tickets up to 7 hours before. Groups cannot buy online: they have to go to an agency or a ticket office, or write to the groups office.

A detail that surprises people from outside: even if you bought online, you must do the check-in at the port ticket office or at the machines, where there are any, to get the boarding card. Once check-in is done, the ticket can no longer be changed or refunded. Refunds before check-in follow the general conditions of carriage, which are on the refunds page. The website makes clear that there is no right of withdrawal for online purchases.

## Luggage, animals and vehicles

Luggage, surfboards, canoes and small boats on the car roof travel free, provided the total does not exceed 1.80 m in height. Above that height, the car pays 50% more.

Cats travel in a carrier, at the owner's responsibility. The FAQ does not mention other animals.

Bicycles are only accepted on the ferries and on TMV units, not on the hydrofoils.

LPG or methane cars must be declared to the crew before boarding.

The registration on the ticket must match that of the car, and you must carry the original registration document.

Island residents have their own fares and must prove it at check-in; otherwise the ticket is cancelled.
