Ferry from Positano to Ischia

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to get from Positano to Ischia Island the morning of May 23rd. I was hoping to avoid going all the way back to Naples and just take some sort of boat/water taxi/ferry straight to Ischia. (We only need the one-way boat in the morning).

I've been e-mailing with our hotel in Positano and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a ferry running that day. Does anyone have any other thoughts?

My back-up plan is to take the 9:30 am ferry from Sorrento to Ischia, (found on this website: http://www.ischiareview.com/ferries--hydrofoils-between-ischia--naples-timetables--guide.html#/), but I haven't found an early ferry to go from Positano to Sorrento. Where might I look for that schedule?

Many thanks for any additional thoughts!

PS: I have found answers for practically every other item for our 7 day trip to Rome and Amalfi here on this site, so thank you in advance to everyone that has posted. It's seriously been invaluable!

I am sorry to inform you the scheduled ferry from Positano to Sorrento is no more! We tried to take it today and we're told in both Amalfi and Positano it is not running. We went to the TI office in Positano and were told "it was running in April but no more.......it is the Italian style" as she smiled. Schedules were published and our hotel told us it was available. Alas, the Italian way!!
