Pets: yes, with a surcharge

Keep an eye on the weather

Don't leave the last crossing to chance
The final departures of the day are the first to sell out, and missing one means a night on the island. Book both legs together — handles it in a single conversation.
Onward from Sorrento
The Circumvesuviana runs to Pompeii and Naples, and the SITA buses head down the Amalfi Coast. Land early enough and you can still reach Positano the same day.
