Foot passengers travelling light: take the <strong>catamaran<\/strong> straight into Hvar Town (about 50\u201360 minutes, roughly \u20ac10\u201330 per person) \u2014 as long as the timetable lines up with your day. Bringing a car: the <strong>Stari Grad car ferry<\/strong> (about 2 hours, plus a 20-minute drive on to Hvar Town). Travelling as a group, arriving off-schedule, landing late at the airport, or facing wind that grounds the fast catamarans: a <strong>taxi boat privato<\/strong> \u2014 55 minutes dock to dock, \u20ac370\u2013900 for the whole boat.

Two operators run the line in 2026 \u2014 <strong>Jadrolinija<\/strong> (line 641, sailing roughly 1 May to 11 October) and <strong>Krilo \/ Kapetan Luka<\/strong> (roughly 20 March to 15 November). Crossing time is about 50 minutes on Krilo, up to an hour on Jadrolinija.<\/p>\n<p>In peak summer you will find close to 18\u201320 sailings a day between the two operators; outside season that drops to two to four. Foot-passenger fares run roughly \u20ac10\u201330 one way depending on operator and season, with children about half \u2014 always confirm the exact figure on the current 2026 timetable before you plan your day around it.<\/p>\n<p>The catches are real, though. Seats sell out days ahead in July and August. There is no vehicle deck. Luggage goes on open racks. And the fast catamarans are the first thing cancelled when the <em>bura<\/em> or <em>jugo<\/em> gets up \u2014 the big car ferries ride weather far better than the low, light catamarans do. The last boat back to Split usually leaves Hvar around 20:00, which is what makes a day trip work.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Skipper&#8217;s tip:<\/strong> Book the catamaran the moment your dates are fixed \u2014 not the night before. The cheap early-morning and value evening sailings sell out first, and the &#8220;sold out&#8221; wall in August is real. If you fly in and out the same week, buy your return leg at the same time; the ticket machines at Split port grow long queues by mid-morning.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_2_The_car_ferry_to_Stari_Grad_only_if_you_are_bringing_a_vehicle\">Option 2: The car ferry to Stari Grad (only if you are bringing a vehicle)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want a car on Hvar, you do not sail to Hvar Town at all \u2014 you take Jadrolinija&#8217;s car ferry (line 635) to <strong>Stari Grad<\/strong>, the island&#8217;s vehicle port, about 20 km from Hvar Town. The crossing is around 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours.<\/p>\n<table class=\"de-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Split\u2013Stari Grad (line 635), one way<\/th>\n<th>Adulto<\/th>\n<th>Standard car (\u22645 m)<\/th>\n<th>Typical total<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>High season (29 May\u201327 Sep 2026)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac8.40<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac47.60<\/td>\n<td>~\u20ac56<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Off-season<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac5.90<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac35.60<\/td>\n<td>~\u20ac41.50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Two things to know. First, your ticket for a specific sailing <em>is<\/em> your car&#8217;s reservation for that sailing \u2014 so in peak summer, book the crossing well ahead or you will wait hours in the vehicle queue at Split. Second, Stari Grad is not Hvar Town. Once you roll off, it is a 20-km drive \u2014 about 20\u201335 minutes \u2014 over the island&#8217;s spine to Hvar Town, or a local bus timed to meet the ferries. If your accommodation is in Hvar Town and you do not truly need a car, the catamaran is simpler and often cheaper than ferry-plus-fuel-plus-parking.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_3_The_private_taxi_boat_door_to_dock_on_your_clock\">Option 3: The private taxi boat (door to dock, on your clock)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A private taxi boat is not a scaled-up ferry ticket \u2014 it is a different way to travel. We pick you up at the Split Riva (or straight from Split Airport) and run you to Hvar in about 55 minutes, landing wherever you actually want to be: Hvar Town&#8217;s harbour, a villa dock, or a Pakleni Islands beach for a swim on the way. One price covers the whole boat \u2014 \u20ac370\u2013900 for Split\u2013Hvar depending on the boat and the season \u2014 so for four to twelve people it often lands close to what a family pays for catamaran tickets, minus the fixed timetable.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"de-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/gw35.jpg\" alt=\"Great White 35 private taxi boat running the Split to Hvar route across the Adriatic\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"850\"><figcaption>Our Great White 35 on the Split\u2013Hvar crossing \u2014 closed cabin, radar-equipped.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Where the private boat really earns its keep is when the scheduled options fail you: a midnight flight into Split, a nine-person group with luggage the catamaran will not seat together, a departure two hours after the last public sailing, or a windy morning when Jadrolinija and Krilo have both cancelled. Our fleet \u2014 the closed-cabin <strong>Great White 49, 39 and 35<\/strong>, plus the <strong>Lolivul 9<\/strong> \u2014 is radar-equipped and built to run in sea states that ground the fast catamarans. When the catamarans stop, we are often still sailing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Skipper&#8217;s tip:<\/strong> If your flight lands after about 19:00, do not plan on a public catamaran to Hvar the same night \u2014 the last one has usually gone. A private transfer straight from the terminal is almost always faster and less stressful than an airport hotel plus a morning ferry scramble.

If you are determined to have a car on the island, take the Stari Grad ferry, but be honest about whether you will use the car enough to justify the drive and the island&#8217;s tight, paid parking. If you are a group, carrying luggage, arriving at an awkward hour, or the forecast is ugly, the private boat turns a logistics headache into the best hour of the trip \u2014 and it is the only option that ignores the public timetable entirely.

In peak season it often does not, especially for late arrivals. A private boat can collect you near the airport or at the Riva and run you straight to Hvar in under an hour; airport\u2013Hvar transfers are \u20ac400\u2013900 for the boat.

The car ferry to Stari Grad takes about 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours, plus a 20\u201335 minute drive on to Hvar Town. A private taxi boat runs Split to Hvar in about 55 minutes, dock to dock.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_there_a_direct_ferry_from_Split_to_Hvar_Town\">Is there a direct ferry from Split to Hvar Town?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 the passenger catamaran (Jadrolinija line 641 and Krilo \/ Kapetan Luka) sails directly into Hvar Town harbour. The car ferry does not: it goes to Stari Grad, about 20 km away, so if you want to arrive in Hvar Town itself without a car, take the catamaran or a private boat.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_much_is_the_Split_to_Hvar_catamaran_in_2026\">How much is the Split to Hvar catamaran in 2026?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Foot-passenger fares run roughly \u20ac10\u201330 one way depending on the operator and the season, with children around half price. Krilo is often the cheapest off-peak, while Jadrolinija&#8217;s peak fare sits near the top of the range. Always confirm the exact price on the current timetable.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Can_you_take_a_car_from_Split_to_Hvar\">Can you take a car from Split to Hvar?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, on the Jadrolinija car ferry to Stari Grad. In high season (29 May\u201327 September 2026) budget about \u20ac8.40 per adult and \u20ac47.60 for a standard car, roughly \u20ac56 one way. Book the specific sailing ahead in summer, because the ticket doubles as your vehicle&#8217;s reservation for that crossing.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Can_you_do_Split_to_Hvar_as_a_day_trip\">Can you do Split to Hvar as a day trip?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. With up to 18\u201320 catamaran sailings a day in peak season and a last boat back to Split around 20:00, a day trip works well \u2014 spend it in Hvar Town or around Stari Grad. Book both legs in advance in July and August, as popular departures sell out.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"What_happens_if_the_Split_to_Hvar_ferry_is_cancelled\">What happens if the Split to Hvar ferry is cancelled?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fast catamarans are cancelled first in strong bura or jugo winds, because they ride rough seas far less comfortably than the big car ferries. If the public boats stop, our closed-cabin, radar-equipped private fleet can often still make the crossing \u2014 it is one of the main reasons people book a private taxi boat in the shoulder season.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_a_private_boat_from_Split_to_Hvar_worth_it\">Is a private boat from Split to Hvar worth it?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For a group it often makes sense: one boat price (\u20ac370\u2013900) covers up to around a dozen people, you leave when you want rather than on the timetable, and you land exactly where you are staying. For a solo traveller or couple on a flexible schedule, the catamaran is more economical. It comes down to group size, timing and luggage.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_do_I_get_from_Split_Airport_to_Hvar\">Come arrivo dall&#039;aeroporto di Spalato a Hvar?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reach the Split ferry port (about 25 minutes by road) and take a catamaran if one lines up with your flight, or book a private boat that collects you near the airport and runs straight to Hvar in under an hour. Airport\u2013Hvar private transfers are \u20ac400\u2013900 per boat.
