Catamaran Hvar to Split

Leaving the island: the first boat goes before breakfast, the last in the early evening, and the crossing is under an hour. If your flight is early, plan the night before.

Hvar to Split, 2026 timetable

Departures leave from the Hvar town riva. Three operators share the route and their times move a little each season, so check the exact day in the search above before you commit to a flight.

The last boat of the day usually leaves Hvar in the early evening. There is nothing scheduled after that, so a late flight out of Split means either a private transfer or a night on the mainland.

What it costs and how to book

The fare is the same in both directions: about €23 to €25 one way on the direct crossings, from €15 on the slower Krilo boat via Milna. Buy online rather than at the small Hvar ticket window, which has a queue and a cash-only reputation in high season.

Book the morning departures early. Everyone leaving the island on a Saturday in August wants the same two boats, and they sell out days ahead.

If you are connecting to a flight, do not take the last possible catamaran. A cancelled or delayed boat leaves you with no scheduled option, and Split airport is another 40 minutes from the port.

Arriving in Split

Catamarans dock in the passenger port on the eastern side of Split harbour, a five to ten minute walk from Diocletian’s Palace and the same from the bus and train stations. It is one of the easiest ferry arrivals in the Adriatic: you walk off the boat into the middle of the city.

Split airport is 25 km away at Kaštela, roughly 30 to 40 minutes by shuttle bus or taxi depending on traffic. Buses meet most arrivals in summer.

If you have hours to spare before a flight, leave the luggage at the port storage and walk into the old town rather than sitting at the terminal.

Good to know before you leave

Be on the riva 20 minutes early in August. Boarding is by gangway from the quay and the queue for a busy departure builds fast, especially with the group tours.

Foot passengers only. If you brought a car to the island it goes back on the ferry from Stari Grad or Sućuraj, not on this boat.

Check out of your accommodation in time for the crossing you booked, not the one after it. In peak season there is rarely a spare seat on the next departure.

Hvar to Split, common questions

What time is the first boat from Hvar to Split?

Early morning, usually before 07:00 in summer across the operators. Exact times change by season, so check the date in the search above.

What time is the last catamaran from Hvar to Split?

Early evening. After that there is no scheduled crossing, only a private water taxi.

How long does it take?

Under an hour on the direct boats, about an hour and three quarters if the boat calls at Milna on Brač.

Can I make an early flight from Split the same morning?

Only with the first departure and a comfortable margin, or by staying in Split the night before. The airport is another 30 to 40 minutes from the port.

Where does the boat arrive in Split?

In the passenger port, a five to ten minute walk from Diocletian’s Palace and the bus station.

Can I take my car back on this boat?

No. Cars travel on the Stari Grad or Sućuraj car ferries.

Do I need to book the return in advance?

In July and August yes. Saturday morning departures in particular sell out days ahead.
