Updated September 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Getting to <strong>Kor\u010dula Splitist\u00e4<\/strong> is the longest island trip people ask us about. Kor\u010dula is an island in the south of Dalmatia, close to Dubrovnik. Split is the main city and port on the Dalmatian coast. A fast catamaran takes about 2h20\u20133h one way. A car ferry takes longer, because you also need a bus or a drive. A private boat takes about 80 minutes, door to dock. None of these options is wrong. They suit different trips. But Kor\u010dula is the one island where the crossing time decides if you get a real visit or a rushed one.

It is much closer to Dubrovnik than to Split. A trip to Hvar takes under one hour and leaves most of your day free. <strong>Split Kor\u010dulaan<\/strong> takes more than twice as long by sea. This is why most people either sleep on Kor\u010dula or skip it. That is a pity. Kor\u010dula Town is the old walled town at the east end of the island. It is one of the best old towns on this coast. There are four realistic ways to cross: fast catamaran, catamaran plus bus via Vela Luka, car ferry, or private taxi boat. Where each one lands matters as much as how long it takes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Kipparin vinkki:<\/strong> Ask ten people how long the ferry to Kor\u010dula takes, and you will get ten answers. It depends which port they mean. A timetable that says &#8220;2h20 to Kor\u010dula&#8221; may mean Kor\u010dula Town. Or it may mean Vela Luka, the port at the far west end of the island. Always check the named port before you book.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- de-vs --><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Is_a_private_transfer_worth_it_The_honest_numbers\">Is a private transfer worth it?

If you land after that \u2014 because of a delayed or late-night flight \u2014 there is <strong>no public boat until the morning<\/strong>.

They also sail in a bura (the strong, cold north-east wind) when the catamarans cancel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kipparin vinkki:<\/strong> For 4 or more people with luggage, the private boat wins on time and comfort. The same is true for any flight that lands after about 19:00. On price, the public route is usually cheaper per person. The gap gets smaller for big groups once you add taxis, tickets and a possible hotel night.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/fi\/taxi-boat\/split-to-korcula\/\">Katso hinnat Split \u2192 Kor\u010dula<\/a>, tai <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/fi\/contact\/\">kerro meille lentoaikasi<\/a> \u2014 vastaamme 24\/7.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_1_KriloKapetan_Luka_catamaran_to_Korcula_Town\">Vaihtoehto 1: Krilo\/Kapetan Luka -katamaraani Kor\u010dulan kaupunkiin<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most useful public option is the Krilo fast catamaran. Krilo (also called Kapetan Luka) is a private ferry company. Its boat lands inside Kor\u010dula Old Town, right under the walls. Krilo runs this on its direct Split\u2013Hvar\u2013Kor\u010dula line, and on its longer seasonal Split\u2013Hvar\u2013Kor\u010dula\u2013Mljet\u2013Dubrovnik line. The crossing takes about 2h20\u20133h, depending on the sailing. Fares start at around \u20ac20\u201330 one way. This service runs from spring to autumn, not all year. Sailings are limited \u2014 usually one to three a day. So book ahead. On some summer timetables, the last boat back to Split leaves in the mid or late afternoon. That is earlier than the last boat from Hvar. Plan your day around the return sailing, not the other way round. Check the current timetable for exact times and season dates.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Kipparin vinkki:<\/strong> Book your Kor\u010dula\u2013Split return at the same time as your outbound ticket. On days with only one round trip, if that boat is full or cancelled for weather, you have very few backup options from Kor\u010dula.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_2_JadrolinijaTP_Line_catamarans_cheap_but_check_where_they_land\">Option 2: Jadrolinija\/TP Line catamarans \u2014 cheap, but check where they land<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Jadrolinija is the state ferry company. TP Line runs the state-supported fast catamarans. Their main catamaran to Kor\u010dula island (Split\u2013Hvar\u2013Vela Luka\u2013Ubli on Lastovo island) does not reach Kor\u010dula Town. It lands at Vela Luka, about 40 km away by road. The crossing takes about 2h10\u20132h45. Fares are around \u20ac9\u201312 one way. That is cheap, but it is only half the journey. From Vela Luka, a bus (Arriva) takes about one hour across the island. Buses run several times a day and are roughly timed to the ferries. All in, plan on 3.5\u20134.5 hours door to door. This route suits a tight budget, or anyone who is actually going to Vela Luka. Check the current bus times, because they change by season.<\/p>\n<p>There is one more cheap option. TP Line&#8217;s line 9608 (Split\u2013Hvar\u2013Prigradica\u2013Kor\u010dula Town) does reach Kor\u010dula Town, for about \u20ac13. Prigradica is a small harbour on the north coast of the island. The timetable suits island residents, not visitors. In 2026 it leaves Split at about 17:00 and reaches Kor\u010dula Town about 2.5 hours later. It sails back early in the morning. So it works for a one-way trip, but not for a day trip from Split. Check the current timetable before you plan around it.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_3_Car_ferry_via_Vela_Luka_or_the_Peljesac_Bridge\">Vaihtoehto 3: Autolautta Vela Lukan tai Pelje\u0161acin sillan kautta<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two different car-ferry routes, and they are not the same. The direct Jadrolinija car ferry Split\u2013Vela Luka takes about 2h45\u20133h. It runs a few times a day in high season. You still need to drive across the island afterwards. This is the slowest way to get a car to Kor\u010dula from Split. Most drivers now use the Pelje\u0161ac Bridge instead. The bridge links the Pelje\u0161ac peninsula to the mainland (it opened in 2022). You drive south from Split for about 2\u20132.5 hours to Orebi\u0107, a small town on the Pelje\u0161ac peninsula, just across the water from Kor\u010dula. From Orebi\u0107, a short Jadrolinija car ferry takes you to Domin\u010de, a small ferry port about 3 km from Kor\u010dula Town. That crossing takes only about 20 minutes and runs almost every hour. So the drive is the slow part, not the ferry. In total this takes about 3\u20134 hours door to door, and longer in peak-season traffic. It is good for road trips that continue to Dubrovnik. It is not good if you just want to reach Kor\u010dula Town fast from Split.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_4_Private_taxi_boat_Split_to_Korcula_direct\">Vaihtoehto 4: Yksityinen taksivene, Splitist\u00e4 suoraan Kor\u010dulaan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is where the numbers change. A private water taxi takes about 80 minutes, door to dock. It costs <strong>800\u20131 700 \u20ac koko veneelt\u00e4<\/strong> \u2014 not per person. The price depends on boat size and season. There is no stop at Hvar, no bus across the island, and no fixed timetable. We collect you from the Riva (Split&#8217;s seafront promenade, next to the ferry port) or from Split Airport. We land you wherever suits you, including right at the old town harbour.<\/p>\n<p>By ferry, the crossing takes 2h20 to more than 4 hours each way. So Kor\u010dula only really works as an overnight trip from Split. At 80 minutes each way, a day trip becomes real. Leave mid-morning. Spend five or six hours walking the walls, seeing the Marco Polo house and having lunch on the waterfront. Then be back in Split for dinner. That is the whole case for a <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/fi\/taxi-boat\/split-to-korcula\/\">Splitist\u00e4 Kor\u010dulaan taksiveneell\u00e4<\/a> transfer instead of the public options above. It also matters on bad-weather days. The catamarans to Kor\u010dula sail one of the most open routes we serve. They are the first to be cancelled in a strong jugo (the warm south wind that brings big waves) or bura. Our closed-cabin boats with radar can often still run.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"comparison\"><span id=\"Split_to_Korcula_comparing_your_options\">Splitist\u00e4 Kor\u010dulaan: vaihtoehtojen vertailu<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here is how the realistic ways to travel <strong>Split Kor\u010dulaan<\/strong> compare.

It is a compact medieval old town on a small peninsula, with stone walls and towers from the 13th\u201316th centuries. The narrow streets form a fishbone pattern, which lets the summer breeze in and keeps the strong wind out. The town feels Venetian, and you can walk all of it in an afternoon. It is smaller and quieter than Dubrovnik.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is Marco Polo, the famous 13th-century traveller. Kor\u010dula claims he was born here. Most historians say Venice instead. But the local story has real roots (see the FAQ below). There is a Marco Polo house in the old town. It is worth a look, whichever version you believe.<\/p>\n<p>Outside the walls, the island has good beaches at Lumbarda, a village about 6 km from Kor\u010dula Town. Lumbarda is also known for Grk wine; the Bire family winery is the best-known cellar. The island also makes Po\u0161ip, another good white wine. In the old town, Konoba Adio Mare has been the classic restaurant since the 1970s. For sunset, go to Massimo \u2014 a cocktail bar at the top of a medieval tower, which you reach by ladder. In summer you can also see the More\u0161ka, a traditional sword dance. These are all reasons why Kor\u010dula deserves more than a rushed hour \u2014 and why how you get there matters.<\/p>\n<p>Suunnitteletko pidemp\u00e4\u00e4 reitti\u00e4 yhden saaren sijaan? Meid\u00e4n <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/fi\/taxi-boat\/hvar-to-dubrovnik\/\">Hvarista Dubrovnikiin taksiveneell\u00e4<\/a> page covers that longer private crossing. Some clients add a Kor\u010dula stop on the way.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Day_trip_or_overnight\">P\u00e4iv\u00e4retki vai y\u00f6retki?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Staying in Split for a week and want Kor\u010dula as one of your days? A private boat is the only way to do it without losing most of the day to travel. On a flexible budget trip, the public catamaran or the Vela Luka-plus-bus route both work. Just leave a time buffer around the return sailing. If you can stay longer, Kor\u010dula rewards two or three nights. Once you are not racing a return boat, the ferry times matter much less.<\/p>\n<p>Tell us your dates and group size. We will tell you honestly if a private crossing is worth it, or if the public ferry will do the job. <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/fi\/contact\/\">Ota yhteytt\u00e4<\/a> and we will work it out together.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"See_Korcula_Town_before_you_go\">N\u00e4e Kor\u010dulan kaupunki ennen l\u00e4ht\u00f6\u00e4<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Korcula%20Town%2C%20Croatia&#038;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350\" style=\"border:0\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Korculan kaupungin kartta\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t4oNIFh_d-o\" title=\"Korculan vanhankaupungin drone-video\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"FAQ_Split_to_Korcula_travel_questions\">FAQ: Split to Kor\u010dula -matkakysymykset<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_get_from_Split_to_Korcula\">Kuinka kauan kest\u00e4\u00e4 matkustaa Splitist\u00e4 Kor\u010dulaan?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>By fast catamaran, about 2h20 to 3 hours, depending on the sailing and the port.

TP Line&#8217;s line 9608 also reaches Kor\u010dula Town, but only in the late afternoon, and it sails back early in the morning. Other catamarans and car ferries land at Vela Luka, and you need a bus or a car to reach town.

But it takes longer and lands on the far side of the island from Kor\u010dula Town. TP Line&#8217;s line 9608 is also cheap (about \u20ac13) and reaches Kor\u010dula Town, but only in the late afternoon.

The short car ferry from Orebi\u0107 (via the Pelje\u0161ac Bridge) lands at Domin\u010de, about 3 km from Kor\u010dula Town.
