Sorrento ferry to Procida?
For those of you who have taken this boat or know more about it.....I have looked online but wanted to specifically know if it is possible to take a ferry/boat/hydrofoil from Sorrento to the small island of Procida? If not from Sorrento, is there one from Naples? (I know there are Ischia options, but interested in Procida).
If neither option above, is it feasible to island hop from Ischia to Procida, and still make it back to Ischia in time for the return evening ferry?

Go to www.procida.net, click on English version, click on ferry schedules.
There appear to be ferries between Naples/Procida and Ischia/Procida but not between Sorrento/Procida.

I doubt that there is direct service. Procida is reached from either Naples, Pozzuoli or Ischia. Connecting in Naples is probably the fastest. Island hopping will take longer, but may be more fun.

I stayed on Procida in Oct. 2002. There is not a ferry from Sorrento to Procida. You must leave from Naples. I took the hdyrofoil. You can also get to Ischia from Procida, again a hydrofoil, but they also have ferries. You can take a ferry/hydrofoil from Ischia to Sorrento, but I think there is only one or two a day. Hope you enjoy Procida, it is quite unique.

Enjoy Procida, the island is wonderful and they have a great little transit system. THe travel agent in the main square is great...she arranged many of our Trenitalie reservations for us. When we were in Sorento, there was a either a ferry of a hydrofoil to Procida. We went via Naples for some reason, could have been timing. Things change every year though.

barb is correct, I spent several days on Procida over Easter-for the uhforgettable Good Friday processions. The only connections are either through Naples, or Ischia.
Yes, you can go Procida from Ischia for the day easily.
Thanks for reminding me of the little vans with fresh mozzarella and ricotta. I saw one last year after the try a sample of the ricotta-I nearly swooned in ecstasy-the taste was pure heaven!
