Ferries from Split to Hvar, Brač, Vis and Dubrovnik
Which ferries and catamarans leave Split for Hvar, Brač, Vis and Dubrovnik: operators, journey times as the operators and booking sites state them, and when we last checked.
Boats leave Split for the Dalmatian islands of Hvar, Brač and Vis, and a long catamaran route runs on past Korčula and Mljet to Dubrovnik. Car ferries and fast catamarans do different jobs on these routes, so the journey time depends on the boat you book. Each card gives the figures as the source states them and says when we last checked.
How it works
Car ferries and fast catamarans share the routes. Jadrolinija's page gives 50 minutes for Split to Supetar on Brač, and the booking site we read lists the Hvar route as high-speed catamarans.
Frequency swings with the season. The Hvar route page lists up to 19 crossings a day in high season and 2 to 3 in low season; the Vis route page lists 1 a day off-season and up to 3 in summer.
Rules differ by operator: Jadrolinija's Supetar page says a ticket for that line is valid for any departure on the date printed on it. Check the rules of the operator you book.
A ticket is not a guaranteed seat and sailings can change with the weather, so confirm on the operator's own page the day before.

Timetables and journey times change by season and operator, and a ticket is not a guaranteed seat. Every card says when we last checked and links the page we read; confirm on the operator's own page before you plan around a departure. We list operators' own pages and do not earn commission on these links.
