Split to Hvar, 2026 timetable

Three companies run this crossing and they do not publish a joint timetable, which is why the search above is the quickest way to see them all on one date. The fixed Jadrolinija departures below are the backbone of the day; Kapetan Luka (Krilo) and TP Line fill in the gaps around them.

What it costs and how to book

A seat costs about €23 to €25 one way on the direct crossings, and from €15 if you take the slower Krilo boat that calls at Milna on Brač on the way. Children and residents pay less; large luggage is roughly €5 a piece on Jadrolinija.

Book online. In July and August the mid-morning and early-evening departures are usually gone three to five days ahead, and the queue at the Split ticket window on an August morning is genuinely long. Buying online is the same price as the counter.

If everything is sold out, the crossing still exists: a private speedboat takes four to twelve people from Split or the airport on your own schedule, in about 55 minutes.

Arriving in Hvar town

Catamarans tie up on the riva in the middle of Hvar town, not at an out-of-town terminal. You step off the boat, and the main square, the Franciscan monastery and most of the hotels are a five to ten minute walk in either direction.

Taxis and porters wait at the pier in season. If your accommodation is up the hill, ask for a taxi rather than dragging a suitcase up the steps: the old town is stairs, all of it, and no car reaches most of it.

If you are heading on to Jelsa, Stari Grad or the south coast, buses meet the main arrivals, and a taxi across the island takes 20 to 35 minutes.

Good to know before you sail

Catamarans take foot passengers only. No cars, no scooters, and bicycles only by arrangement with the operator, which in practice means rarely in summer.

Boarding closes about 10 minutes before departure and the boats leave on time. Split ferry port is a five minute walk from the bus and train stations and about 25 km from the airport, so allow an hour from landing to boarding if you are connecting from a flight.

Rough weather is unusual in summer, but the strong bura in spring and autumn can cancel a catamaran while the bigger car ferry still sails. If your crossing is cancelled you are rebooked or refunded, and the Split – Stari Grad ferry is the reliable fallback.

Split to Hvar, common questions

How long does the catamaran from Split to Hvar take?

Between 50 minutes and an hour on the direct crossings. The Krilo boat that calls at Milna on Brač takes about an hour and three quarters.

How much is a ticket in 2026?

About €23–25 one way on the direct boats, and from €15 on the Krilo line via Milna. Extra luggage is roughly €5 a piece.

How many catamarans a day are there?

Up to 17 sailings on a peak August day across all three operators. In winter it drops to one or two.

Do I need to book in advance?

In July and August, yes, three to five days ahead. Outside high season you can usually buy on the day.

Can I take a car on the catamaran?

No. For a car you need the Jadrolinija ferry from Split to Stari Grad, or Drvenik to Sućuraj at the eastern end of the island.

Where does the catamaran dock in Hvar?

On the Hvar town riva, in the middle of town, a few minutes’ walk from the main square.

What if the catamaran is sold out or cancelled?

Take the car ferry to Stari Grad and drive or bus 20 minutes to Hvar town, or book a private speedboat transfer, which runs at any hour.
