On 13 November 2026, rough sea conditions stopped the fast maritime connections to Capri operated by the other navigation companies, leaving Caremar as the only operator maintaining the day's links between the island, Naples and Sorrento.
The local report from Capri Press described a familiar difficult-sea day in the Gulf of Naples: all fast vessels of the various companies remained in port, while Caremar continued with its scheduled ferry services.
Twenty scheduled trips in the published plan
According to the published operating plan reported that day, Caremar listed 20 scheduled ferry trips connecting Capri with Naples and Sorrento.
Service began early, with a 05:35 departure from Naples to Capri, and was scheduled to continue through the day until a 20:17 departure from Capri to Naples.
That published timetable is the plan for the day, not an independent confirmation that every one of the 20 trips was completed. On a day of poor sea conditions, travellers should expect that individual departures can still be delayed, altered or cancelled.
Caremar's public-service role
Caremar is a public-service maritime company operating in the Gulf of Naples.
The company describes itself as an operator connecting seven major ports in the Gulf and says its service is intended to operate in all weather conditions.
Its fleet, as described by the company, includes traditional motor vessels, fast ferries, a hydrofoil, a catamaran and another fast unit.
The events of 13 November illustrate Caremar's role as a continuity provider for Capri when rough seas disrupt faster private connections.
What travellers should do
For readers planning to travel on a similar day, two practical points follow directly from this report.
First, check both directions of travel. The disruption affected Capri's links with both Naples and Sorrento, and Caremar was reported as the operator maintaining those links. Do not assume that one mainland port is unaffected when fast services are suspended.
Second, use the full span of the scheduled day. With the first published Naples–Capri departure at 05:35 and the last published Capri–Naples departure at 20:17, early and late ferry options were part of the day's continuity plan. Confirm the current sailing status before travelling, since conditions can change the following day and future connections depend on the forecast.
No official day-specific Caremar sailing bulletin was available to cross-check the local newsroom's timetable, so passengers should verify departures with the operator or the port on the day of travel.
