Snav Ferry

SNAV (Società Navigazione Alta Velocità) is one of the leading Italian shipping companies in the Mediterranean, specializing in high-speed passenger transport via hydrofoils, catamarans, and high-speed ferries. It was founded in 1958 by Carlo Rodríguez, with headquarters in Naples, and since 2006 has been part of the MSC Group (Mediterranean Shipping Company), one of the world’s largest shipping companies.

This company connects Naples with the Gulf Islands (Capri, Ischia, and Procida), the Aeolian Islands, the Pontine Islands, and Croatia (Ancona–Split). It is the leading ferry operator for exploring southern Italy by sea, thanks to its wide range of daily departures throughout most of the year to the Gulf of Naples, as well as seasonal services—with additional departures in the summer—to the Aeolian and Pontine Islands.

Its fleet consists of more than a dozen vessels, including hydrofoils, high-speed catamarans, and fast ferries—all of which are modern, comfortable, and designed to minimize travel time. Among the best-known vessels are the SNAV Alcione, the SNAV Altair, the SNAV Antares, the SNAV Aurelia, and the HSC Don Francesco catamaran, the latter of which is capable of carrying vehicles.

SNAV offers a wide range of onboard services: airplane-style reclining seats on its hydrofoils, a bar-cafeteria, outdoor areas with sea views, and—on its larger vessels (such as those operating the Ancona–Split route), interior and exterior cabins, a restaurant, lounge areas, and play areas for children.

If you’re traveling with children, SNAV offers reduced fares for minors and child discounts based on age group. Children under 3 years old typically travel for free without an assigned seat.

If you’re traveling with animals, the shipping company allows pets on board on most of its routes. You must purchase a separate ticket for your pet, and it must travel on a leash and wear a muzzle or be transported in a carrier. On the Ancona–Split route, it’s also possible to book pet-friendly cabins.
