Why travel by ferry from Naples to Lipari?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Naples to Lipari ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Lipari. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Naples to Lipari is an ideal way to travel.

Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Naples to Lipari. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. On the other hand, during the Naples Lipari crossing on the Siremar, Alilauro or SNAV ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. A totally different experience to flying!
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With other modes of transport, we are often limited to 1 piece of luggage, and each additional piece of luggage is charged. For the Naples to Lipari crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no supplement is required. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Lipari. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with SNAV, Alilauro or Siremar.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although booking a cabin on the Naples to Lipari crossing is optional, it is a comfort that should be enjoyed. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
