Capri Ferry in time for Naples Flight
 
I will be flying from Naples to London on Wednesday Sept 24th. Can I make it easily from Capri to Naples Airport for a 11:45am flight or should I play it safe and take the 7:35pm flight.

Looks like there is a 6:50am Hydrofoil and a 8:05 Hydrofoil and a 7:05am regular ferry if the seas are too rough for the hyrdofoil. I will be traveling alone with only a carry-on.

Thank you for your assistance.

My understanding is that one can not necessarily count on the ferry from Capri to Naples on any given day. For me, the cost of a missed flight is too high to justify the risk, so I always make sure I am in the city from which my flight will leave no later than the night beforehand. Just my preference. In this case, there is a great deal to see and do in Naples, so it wouldn't be a bad choice - again, IMO. Others may have very different perspectives.

It used to be some ferry services cut back mid-Sept.

Thank you both for your replies. Definitely looks like I will have to play it safe and also further research when they cut back on the schedule.

Here you can find the ferry and hidrofoil times from Capri to Naples: http://www.capri.com/en/ferry-schedule
The times you'll find on this page refer to the current week. Check times of crossings a couple of days before you travel.
The 6:50am Hydrofoil never cut back, only in case of case of particularly rough sea conditions.
Ask to your hotel what they suggest.
Enjoy Capri :-)
