Amalfi Coast Ferry Schedule for May

I am heading to Sorrento next week and wish to take the ferry one day to Positano and another to Amalfi + bus to Ravello. I have been checking the ferry schedule here: https://www.capri.it/it/orari-traghetti?from=sorrento&to=positano# It only shows one AM departure from Sorrento at 1030. Is that correct or will it hopefully change soon? Am I looking at the wrong site? I was hoping to head out much earlier to get a full day in. I am open to taking the bus if needed but I know it is very crowded, slower and I would love to see the towns from the sea view. Would love any insight into this. Thanks

Patti, yes you are using one of the "right" sites, and yes, I'm afraid that's the only morning ferry showing to Positano right now. There's no indication if/when other departures will be added for the later spring season. All you can do is watch the sites for updates.

Editing to add: to get the sea view, you could take an earlier bus in the morning and return to Sorrento via ferry in the afternoon? There's one that runs at 3:40 and another at 5:00 PM.

to Ravello.

Do you mean that you want to do all of this on the same day or Positano on one day and Amalfi/Ravello on another? Sorry if I'm confused.... :O)

Kathy, thanks for confirming. I will be doing Sorrento to Positano one day and another day Sorrento to Amalfi/Ravello and Capri on another day. We'll be in Sorrento for 6 nights. I visited Positano before but never made it to Amalfi so want to hit them both this time. I know Mondo Tours does shared drive to both site but I don't feel there is enough time alloted on those tours to really get to see the towns. I'll keep checking to see if they add more times to the schedule next week. Thank you!

You're welcome, Patti! Have a great trip!

PS: Capri can eat up a whole day if you're interested in enough that it has to offer but it looks like that's exactly what you intend to do?
