Sućuraj to Drvenik, 2026 timetable

Line 632 starts early. The 05:00 gets you onto the coastal road before the traffic, which matters if you are driving to Dubrovnik or to a morning flight from Split.

What it costs and how to book

Per vehicle plus per passenger, and the cheapest of the two car crossings because it is the shortest. Current fares are published by Jadrolinija.

Leaving the island is usually easier than arriving: the queue at Sućuraj is shorter than the one at Drvenik. Even so, in the first half of August give yourself a sailing in hand.

Remember the drive first. From Hvar town to Sućuraj is seventy-seven kilometres of island road and an hour and a half, so a 05:00 departure means leaving your accommodation at about half past three.

Arriving in Drvenik

Drvenik is a small coastal village on the Makarska Riviera with a ferry ramp, a shop and a café. You drive off and you are on the Adriatic highway within a minute.

From there it is about forty minutes north to Makarska, two hours to Split, and roughly two and a half hours south to Dubrovnik — less if the Pelješac bridge is clear.

For Split airport, allow two hours from the ramp plus the crossing and the island drive. If your flight is early, the Hvar town catamaran is the calmer option.

Good to know before you sail

If you are heading south, this is the right ferry. If you are heading north or to Split airport, the Stari Grad crossing is almost always faster once you count the island drive.

The eastern road is beautiful and slow. Do not plan it on a tight schedule for the first time in the dark.

The line runs all year, so it is also the winter fallback when weather closes the catamaran.
