Are there Ferries from Atrani or Praiano?

Yes but only in peak season. In June, July and August, shuttle ferries operate to connect Atrani and Praiano with the main ferry routes.

Should You Take the Ferry or the Bus?

It depends on when you plan to visit. Ferry service is probably more reliable than buses, especially on weekends or during peak hours in high season.

If you suffer from seasickness, taking the ferry may not be the best option. However, if the sea is calm, the ferry can be a smoother alternative to the infamous bus ride along the Amalfi Drive, which can easily cause motion sickness even in the toughest of travellers.

If you're planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast, you're probably already dreading the bus ride. I mean, who wants to be squished between sweaty tourists, trying not to fall off the cliffside roads? Tired of the crowds and chaos on the bus to the Amalfi Coast? Hop on a ferry from Salerno and soak in the sea breeze as you sail your way to Positano.

First things first, get yourself to Salerno, the starting point of this journey. The ferry stops at charming towns like Vietri Sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori, Minori, and Amalfi before finally docking at the picturesque Positano. So, don't forget your camera or your sunglasses - this ride is going to be lit!

The boat ride will let you enjoying the stunning views of the coast from a whole new perspective.

In terms of speed, the ferry is generally quicker, especially for direct trips to Positano.

When is the last Ferry?

The ferry service may be limited in the evening. So if you’re traveling after 5 pm, the bus might be a better option. During high season, ferries run until around 8 or 9 pm. And for special events, like St. Andrew’s Day in Amalfi, there are extra ferries to Salerno after the celebration ends.
