Porto di Capri

The port of Capri, which is the island’s main seaport, is located within the hamlet of Marina Grande.
This port was built within a natural inlet and is therefore protected from winds and waves.
The interior of the port is also protected by two artificial docks.

The main pier is located to the west, has three arms and is internally docked.
The breakwater, on the other hand, is located to the east, has two arms and is also docked; it is from the breakwater that a number of floating docks depart.

The port is internally divided into two parts thanks to the presence of an inner breakwater pier that creates two distinct basins: on the eastern side we find the area reserved for tourist boats and fishing boats; the other part, to the west, is reserved for the passenger port of call and is considered the more commercial part.

In the eastern basin, the one with a tourist vocation, a dock has been carved out between the breakwater pier, the shore and a two-armed jetty.

Many cruise ships call at Capri because of its great beauty, but because the port cannot accommodate such large vessels, they dock offshore: lifeboats are used as a shuttle service to bring passengers to the mainland.

The port of Capri is located on the northern part of the island, a fair distance from the center of Capri.
To reach the center, however, there are many convenient alternatives: one can choose between bus, cab service or the historic funicular.

The marina offers 300 berths, 30 of which are designated for boats in transit.
Access to the port is allowed only to boats reaching a maximum length of 60 meters; however, boats 30 meters and up must be authorized.

Within the ports, it is necessary, for one’s own safety and the safety of others, to respect the movements of commercial vessels and give precedence to outgoing vessels

Within the ports, sailing at a speed greater than 2 knots is prohibited.
Moorings are with grounded lines or dead body.

Services provided within the ports are numerous.
The docks are lighted and have outlets for drinking water and electricity.
The fuel station dispenses gasoline, diesel, and mixture and is open from 09:00 to 13:00 and again from 16:00 until 20:00.

Engine repairs, electrical repairs and repairs of wooden or fiberglass hulls are also carried out.

Safety is ensured by the 24-hour guard service.
The weather service allows boaters to obtain up-to-date and accurate weather information.
A pilotage service is also active.

Boaters can take advantage of the garbage collection service and the toilets and showers provided for them.
Near the ports there is no shortage of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and ice vendors.
There is also a parking lot and a telephone booth.

In Ostro or Scirocco winds, the nearest safe anchorage is Marina di Caterola; when the Ponente blows, Grotta Bianca is recommended instead.

Some areas along the coast of the Isle of Capri are closed to transit, navigation and the conduct of any other activity.
It is therefore advisable to contact the local Maritime Authority for further information
