How to find ferries from Split to Hvar island? I have heard this question many times and each time, travelers are rather confused when they find themselves in the port of Split.
Hvar island has always been the best and most frequently connected island with the mainland with very frequent connections to almost all island destinations.
All travelers want to reach this island at the fastest and easiest way, traveling by car or as a foot passenger. This dilemma whether to travel by car or as ordinary foot traveler, greatly affects either the travel time and the formalities you have to face.
If you traveling by car to Hvar island, it would be useful to check Split harbor map to easily find your fast catamaran ship as car ferries run from different harbor pier.
Only two towns on Hvar island are connected by car ferries. From Split, only one, Stari Grad on island of Hvar, has daily car and trucks ferry lines. The second one is from Drvenik (near Makarska town) the keeps daily ferries to Sucuraj village, on the easternmost point on the island.
Booking Ferries From Split To Hvar Island
All car ferries can be booked and purchased online using Jadrolinija booking engine where you can book your car and passenger transportation. It’s important to explain that ferries in Croatia concern transportation of vehicles and passenger, while catamarans or high speed ships are dedicated only for foot travelers.
In order to facilitate booking on line, Jadrolinija’s ferries that sail within Central Dalmatia region are marked with number 600 while catamarans carry number 9000.
Important notice: It’s important to note that buying a ticket for your car does not guarantee you a place on the ferry . Even with your ticket you must arrive two to three hours in advance and to get in line. This particularly applies to ferries to Hvar and Korcula (In July and August can be very crowded.)
