How can we get from procida to positano tomorrow?

Hello all,

We are having a beautiful time on Procida. However tomorrow we need to arrive in Positano. I originally thought we could take a ferry to Ischia then Ischia to Positano, however it looks like that does not run yet.

So, do we ferry to Naples then private driver? Has anyone used mydaytrips or have any other suggestions for particular drivers? Can we ferry closer, like to Sorrento?

I will be talking to the ferry company today but would love input from the experts here on the forum.

Thanks,

You could ferry to Naples and then take the train to Sorrento and the bus from there. More time consuming but much less expensive than a private driver.

The ferry only runs to Sorrento from Procida on Monday/Wed/Friday (from April 1st to Sept 15). and then only once or twice a day.

You could take a ferry to Naples, a ferry to Capri, and another ferry from there to Positano. Use this page for schedules between Pocida>Naples, Naples>Capri,Capri>Positano, The ferry between Capri>Positano has very limited runs and can't dock if weather doesn't allow. This will also be expensive.

You could also take a ferry to Sorrento from Naples and SITA bus or private driver to Positano.

Or transfer from the Naples port to Napoli Centrale train station and take the Positano Shuttle (I haven't taken this personally):

Or transfer from port to train station, take the Circumvesuviana or Campania Express train to Sorrento and SITA bus or private driver from there.

Or private driver from Naples. This will, of course, probably be the most expensive option. A search for "driver, Naples, Positano" will bring up some past suggestions. Monetti Taxi (now called Sorrento Top Driver) has been recommended often:
