Book online: Choose your route (Sorrento–Positano or Positano–Sorrento), date, and departure time that best fits your schedule. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive your e-ticket by email, along with clear boarding instructions and port details.

Arrival at port: Head to your selected port — Marina Piccola in Sorrento or Marina Grande in Positano — both easily accessible from the town center. Signs and staff at the terminal will help guide you to the correct boarding area. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before departure to allow time for check-in and boarding.

Board the ferry: Present your e-ticket to the port staff for validation, then step aboard the modern NLG Jet ferry. Crew members will assist you and answer any questions. Seating is unassigned, allowing you to choose between indoor or the open deck.

Enjoy the ride: Sit back and relax during this 30-85-minute journey, gliding along the famous Amalfi coastline. The ferry offers comfortable seating, fresh sea air, and panoramic views of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and colorful villages rising from the sea. Whether you’re taking photos or simply enjoying the peaceful motion of the water, this journey is a highlight in itself.

Arrive & disembark: As you approach your destination, you’ll be greeted by one of the world’s most breathtaking views — Positano’s cascade of pastel houses or Sorrento’s dramatic cliffs. Upon arrival, disembark directly at the central marina, just steps from cafés, boutiques, and beaches. From here, you’re free to explore at your own pace.

If you’re planning a same-day return or a round trip on another date, simply book two separate one-way tickets — one for each leg of the journey. This flexible system makes it easy to design your own itinerary, whether you want a short visit or a full Amalfi adventure.
