NLG - Navigazione Libera del Golfo has been making maritime connections in the Gulf of Naples for over 80 years, in particular with the splendid Island of Capri, with the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast and, in the Adriatic, with the Tremiti Islands.

The company is currently managed solely by the Aponte family, of Sorrentine origin and an ancient maritime tradition, dating back to the 17th-18th centuries.

The recent history of the company began in 1953 with the motor ships "Italia" and "Linda", and then with the "Santa Teresa", the "Santa Lucia Luntana", the "Santa Maria del Mare", the "Santa Rita", the "Pola" and, still later, with the M / n "Patrizia" and "Mergellina".

In 1981 the soc. "NLG - Navigazione Libera del Golfo S.r.l.", and a profound transformation of the company and the fleet took place.

Modern monohulls with hydrojet propulsion were purchased in rapid succession, which gradually replaced the old motor ships: the "Capri Jet" in 1988, the "Sorrento Jet" in 1990, the "Napoli Jet" in 1991, the "Amalfi Jet" in 1993 and the "Ischia Jet" in 1995.

To these was added, in 1999, the “Super Jet”, a modern and fast HSC single hull capable of carrying 580 passengers.

Leadership in the areas of competence was now assured, but the fleet upgrading phase did not stop: in 2003 the "Vesuvio Jet" and the "Tremiti Jet" were purchased, very fast HSC single hulls, electronically stabilized and capable of carrying 440 passengers. at a speed of 35 knots, even in the least favorable weather and sea conditions.

In 2006 the "Salerno Jet" was acquired, with similar characteristics, for the further enhancement of the services that the company carries out in the Gulf of Salerno.

In 2007 the "Picasso" was purchased, which made it possible to expand the activity carried out for the Tremiti Islands to include the ports of the Gargano (Rodi Garganico and Capojale).
