Commute back-up plan between Naples/Capri/Positano in Mid October

Hello - My husband and I will be flying into Naples the second week of October. We plan to land early afternoon and head directly to Capri for a 2 night stay before going to Positano and ultimately ending up in Naples. I have checked the ferry schedule Naples to Capri and note larger ferries being available traveling to Capri. My concern is getting to Positano from Capri if the smaller boats cancel. My question here specifically is....For our trip from Capri to Positano, and in the event of smaller boats cancelling with no options available due to heavy waters, is it unreasonable to have a back up plan in place where we head back to Naples on one of the larger ferries and get a driver to transport us to Positano (and Likewise for the return to Naples from Positano)? We have lovely accommodations booked in Capri, Positano and Naples, all of which are reasonably priced for the locations, and prefer to have overnight stays in each place. I am weary though, of keeping reservations that will be past the cancellation dates as we get closer if there is a possibility we would miss getting to the island or location, so I don't want to wait and see what the weather will be. Thank you for your input!

If you are thinking of using a driver to get to Positano, I'd ferry from Capri to Sorrento, which is closer, then have a driver from there. It's half the distance than from Naples.
