Our <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/it\/blog\/split-airport-to-hvar-2026\/\">Split Airport to Hvar transfer guide<\/a> breaks down every option, operator and 2026 price in one place.<\/p>\n<p>Getting from Split Airport to the islands always means two journeys, not one \u2014 because Split Airport (SPU) isn&#8217;t in Split. It sits at Resnik, near Ka\u0161tela, about 25 km from Split&#8217;s ferry port and only a few minutes from Trogir. So whichever island you&#8217;re headed to \u2014 SPU to Hvar, Bra\u010d or Vis all follow the same pattern \u2014 you first need to reach a port, and only then does your ferry, catamaran or private boat take over. Miss that first leg, or time it badly, and the whole day can unravel. This guide lays out every real option for Split Airport to the islands, what each one costs, and where the timing traps actually bite.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"de-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_7082-e1651263628266.webp\" alt=\"Private water taxi meeting travellers for a Split Airport to the islands transfer\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1938\" height=\"1094\"><figcaption>A private boat collapses the airport-to-port-to-island journey into one leg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Why_Split_Airport_to_the_islands_is_always_a_two-leg_trip\">Why Split Airport to the islands is always a two-leg trip<\/span><\/h2><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Sommario<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Why_Split_Airport_to_the_islands_is_always_a_two-leg_trip\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> Why Split Airport to the islands is always a two-leg trip<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Ferry_ticket_vs_private_transfer_the_real_cost_and_time\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> Ferry ticket vs private transfer \u2014 the real cost and time<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#What_else_you_get_with_Dalmatia_Express\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">2.1<\/span> What else you get with Dalmatia Express<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Getting_from_the_airport_to_a_port_your_options\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">3<\/span> Getting from the airport to a port: your options<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Split_Airport_to_the_islands_the_full_comparison\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">4<\/span> Split Airport to the islands: the full comparison<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#The_Trogir_shortcut_most_visitors_miss\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">5<\/span> The Trogir shortcut most visitors miss<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Where_the_timing_actually_goes_wrong\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">6<\/span> Where the timing actually goes wrong<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#A_note_on_weather_and_backup_plans\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">7<\/span> A note on weather and backup plans<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Frequently_asked_questions\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">8<\/span> Domande frequenti<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Is_Split_Airport_close_to_Split_city_or_the_ferry_port\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">8.1<\/span> Is Split Airport close to Split city or the ferry port?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#What_is_the_fastest_way_to_get_from_Split_Airport_to_Hvar\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">8.2<\/span> What is the fastest way to get from Split Airport to Hvar?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_do_I_get_from_Split_Airport_to_Brac\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">8.3<\/span> How do I get from Split Airport to Bra\u010d?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Can_I_get_a_ferry_from_Split_Airport_to_Vis_or_do_I_need_to_go_via_Split\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">8.4<\/span> Can I get a ferry from Split Airport to Vis, or do I need to go via Split?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Is_Split_Airport_near_Trogir\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">8.5<\/span> Is Split Airport near Trogir?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#What_happens_if_my_flight_is_delayed_and_I_miss_the_last_ferry_to_the_islands\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">8.6<\/span> What happens if my flight is delayed and I miss the last ferry to the islands?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Does_the_Split_Airport_shuttle_bus_go_straight_to_the_ferry_port\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">8.7<\/span> Does the Split Airport shuttle bus go straight to the ferry port?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Is_it_cheaper_to_take_a_taxi_or_the_shuttle_bus_from_Split_Airport\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">8.8<\/span> Is it cheaper to take a taxi or the shuttle bus from Split Airport?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Sources_further_reading\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">9<\/span> Sources &amp; further reading<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<p>It catches first-time visitors out: you land expecting to practically see the sea, and instead you&#8217;re inland at Ka\u0161tela, with the city itself still a taxi ride away. That geography decides your whole journey. A public transfer means airport \u2192 Split port \u2192 island. A private boat can pick up in Trogir or run straight from a berth near the airport, skipping the middle leg altogether. We cover this in more depth on our dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/it\/taxi-boat\/split-airport-to-hvar\/\">Split Airport to Hvar<\/a> page, but the logic applies to every island.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Skipper&#8217;s tip:<\/strong> If your flight lands after about 3pm in shoulder season, do the maths on your ferry before you land, not after. Add 30\u201345 minutes to get off the plane and through the terminal, 30\u201360 minutes to reach the port, and 30\u201345 minutes of pre-boarding buffer in summer \u2014 then compare that total to the last sailing time for your island.

There are three broad ways to do it, each with a real trade-off in time, cost and stress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Airport shuttle bus.<\/strong> As of 2026 the official shuttle to Split is run by Platanus, which took over the route from the previous operator earlier in the year. It runs to Split&#8217;s main bus station \u2014 right opposite the ferry port \u2014 departing roughly 30 minutes after each flight lands, around the clock. Fares are quoted at about \u20ac10 one-way or \u20ac15 return, for a roughly 30-minute ride. Most solo travellers and couples use this, since it drops you within walking distance of the catamaran quay. Check the current timetable and fare before you fly, as shuttle pricing and schedules do shift between seasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local public bus.<\/strong> City bus line 37 also runs from the airport into town for roughly \u20ac3, but takes longer \u2014 around 45 to 50 minutes, with stops along the way. Cheapest by far, but a poor choice if you&#8217;re cutting it close to a departure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taxi or pre-booked transfer.<\/strong> A metered taxi to Split&#8217;s ferry port typically runs \u20ac40\u201365 for around 30\u201340 minutes; an official price list is posted at arrivals, but fares are meter-based, so treat any figure as a guide. A taxi to Trogir is far cheaper and quicker \u2014 roughly \u20ac15\u201330 for 10\u201315 minutes \u2014 which matters if Trogir is your actual jumping-off point (more below). Pre-booking a transfer costs a little more than hailing a taxi but removes the guesswork on a tight connection.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Split_Airport_to_the_islands_the_full_comparison\">Split Airport to the islands: the full comparison<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the public route and the private boat option stack up for SPU to Hvar, Bra\u010d, Vis and beyond. Public times are airport-to-port plus the sea crossing, assuming a reasonably well-timed connection, not a worst case. Private boat prices are per boat, not per person, and cover the whole party.<\/p>\n<table class=\"de-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Island (port)<\/th>\n<th>Public route from the airport &amp; rough total time<\/th>\n<th>Private boat, direct from airport\/Trogir<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Hvar (Hvar Town)<\/td>\n<td>Shuttle\/taxi to Split port (30\u201340 min) + catamaran (50\u201360 min) \u2248 1 h 30\u20132 h; last catamaran back typically ~19:00\u201320:30 (later Jul\/Aug), so check the current timetable<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac400\u2013900, roughly 55\u201375 min door-to-dock, no port transfer needed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bra\u010d (Supetar)<\/td>\n<td>Shuttle\/taxi to Split port (30\u201340 min) + car ferry (~50 min), very frequent \u2014 up to ~22 sailings\/day in peak season \u2248 1 h 20\u20131 h 30<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac270\u2013900, roughly 35\u201345 min direct<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bra\u010d (Bol)<\/td>\n<td>Shuttle\/taxi to Split port (30\u201340 min) + seasonal catamaran only (summer, roughly 55\u201375 min) \u2248 1 h 30\u20132 h; no car ferry to Bol<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac270\u2013900, roughly 35\u201345 min direct<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vis (Vis Town\/Komi\u017ea)<\/td>\n<td>Shuttle\/taxi to Split port (30\u201340 min) + car ferry (~2 h 20) or Krilo catamaran (~1 h 30) \u2248 2\u20133 h total<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac460\u20131,000, roughly 65\u201380 min direct \u2014 often the biggest time saving on this list<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u0160olta (Roga\u010d)<\/td>\n<td>Shuttle\/taxi to Split port (30\u201340 min) + car ferry (~60 min), up to 6 sailings\/day in peak season \u2248 1 h 30\u20131 h 40<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac250\u2013450, roughly 30\u201340 min direct \u2014 our cheapest and quickest transfer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kor\u010dula (Kor\u010dula Town\/Vela Luka)<\/td>\n<td>Shuttle\/taxi to Split port (30\u201340 min) + catamaran\/ferry (2 h\u20133 h 10, several operators) \u2248 3\u20134 h total<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac800\u20131,700, roughly 80\u2013100 min direct \u2014 the longest crossing, but hours faster than public transport<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>A few things stand out here. The airport-to-port leg is a fixed 30\u201340 minute tax on every public journey, regardless of island \u2014 dead time you can&#8217;t avoid unless you go direct by boat. The gap between public and private widens the further the island: Vis and Kor\u010dula are where a private transfer saves the most real hours, since the public ferry options are simply long. And frequency matters as much as speed \u2014 Supetar&#8217;s ferry runs so often that missing one sailing barely costs you time, while Bol&#8217;s seasonal-only catamaran and Vis&#8217;s sparser schedule leave much less room for error. For a group of four to six splitting the cost, a private boat on the \u0160olta or Bra\u010d routes often lands close to what everyone would have paid combined for shuttle tickets and ferry fares anyway.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re weighing Hvar specifically, we go deeper on the exact sailings and pricing on our <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/it\/taxi-boat\/split-to-hvar\/\">Da Spalato a Hvar<\/a> page, and if Bol is your target, our sibling post on <a href=\"\/it\/split-airport-to-bol-2026\/\">getting from Split Airport to Bol in 2026<\/a> breaks down that route in full.

It won&#8217;t help with a public catamaran, since passenger ferries all sail from Split&#8217;s main port, not Trogir. But with a private boat, picking up near Trogir or a marina berth close to the airport cuts out the Split-port leg entirely \u2014 no shuttle, no taxi queue, straight to open water. It&#8217;s a detail public-transport guides tend to skip.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Skipper&#8217;s tip:<\/strong> If you land at an odd hour \u2014 an early morning charter flight or a delayed evening arrival \u2014 don&#8217;t assume the public options are dead. The shuttle bus generally runs even at unusual hours, timed to flight arrivals, but the ferries and catamarans absolutely are not: they run to a fixed daily timetable that doesn&#8217;t care what time your plane landed. A 22:00 landing might get you into Split fine on the shuttle, only to find the last boat left hours ago.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"Where_the_timing_actually_goes_wrong\">Where the timing actually goes wrong<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The theory of a Split Airport to the islands transfer looks simple on paper: land, bus, boat, done. In practice, three things routinely wreck that plan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Late or delayed flights missing the last catamaran.<\/strong> This is the single most common way an SPU to Hvar or Bra\u010d trip goes sideways. Summer catamarans to Hvar can run as late as around 01:30 in July and August, but shoulder-season last departures are typically far earlier \u2014 often 19:00\u201320:30 \u2014 and a delayed flight or a slow queue through passport control can eat that margin in minutes. Miss it, and you&#8217;re either paying for an unplanned night in Split or waiting for tomorrow&#8217;s first sailing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connections that simply don&#8217;t line up.<\/strong> Even without a delay, the shuttle bus, the walk to the port, and the ferry&#8217;s boarding cutoff (often 30\u201345 minutes before departure in peak season, since your ticket doubles as your seat reservation) rarely align back-to-back. A shuttle reaching the bus station at 18:35 for a boat boarding at 18:30 means you&#8217;ve missed it, even &#8220;only five minutes late.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Underestimating the airport-to-port leg itself.<\/strong> Because SPU isn&#8217;t in Split, people plan around the flight landing time and forget to budget the 30\u201340 minutes it takes just to get off the plane, collect bags, and reach the quay \u2014 before they&#8217;ve boarded anything.<\/p>\n<p>A closed-cabin private boat sidesteps all three at once: it waits for your actual flight, not a printed timetable, and can often still run in sea conditions that ground the fast public catamarans, since our Great White 49\/39\/35 and Lolivul 9 boats are radar-equipped and built for exactly that kind of weather. When the catamarans stop, we&#8217;re often still sailing. That&#8217;s not a knock on the ferries \u2014 they&#8217;re a genuinely good option most of the time, especially for a couple landing well before mid-afternoon heading to Hvar or Supetar. It&#8217;s just worth having a fallback when the public schedule and your flight don&#8217;t cooperate, particularly for a longer haul like Vis or Kor\u010dula.<\/p>\n<p>If your dates are tight, or you&#8217;re arriving on a red-eye, message us with your flight details and group size through <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/it\/contact\/\">our contact page<\/a> and we&#8217;ll tell you honestly whether a private transfer saves meaningful time, or whether the public ferry will do the job just fine.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"A_note_on_weather_and_backup_plans\">A note on weather and backup plans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dalmatia&#8217;s fast catamarans are the first services suspended when a strong bura (northeasterly) or jugo (southeasterly) wind picks up, since their hull design makes them uncomfortable or unsafe in a real chop. The larger car ferries \u2014 to Supetar, Roga\u010d, Stari Grad and Vis \u2014 tend to keep running in weather that grounds the catamarans, simply because they&#8217;re bigger and heavier. Closed-cabin private boats sit above the catamarans on that scale: built with radar, we can often still make a crossing when the catamarans have cancelled for the day. If you&#8217;re travelling in shoulder season with a stiff forecast, keep a backup plan in mind and check the operator&#8217;s live status rather than assuming yesterday&#8217;s timetable still holds.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\">Domande frequenti<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_Split_Airport_close_to_Split_city_or_the_ferry_port\">Is Split Airport close to Split city or the ferry port?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No \u2014 Split Airport (SPU) is at Resnik, near Ka\u0161tela, about 25 km from Split&#8217;s ferry port on the Riva, roughly 24\u201334 minutes by car or around 30 minutes on the shuttle bus.

Budget the airport-to-port transfer plus either the Jadrolinija car ferry (around 2 h 20) or the faster Krilo catamaran (around 1 h 30) to Vis.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_Split_Airport_near_Trogir\">Is Split Airport near Trogir?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, Trogir is only about 6 km away, roughly a 10\u201315 minute taxi ride \u2014 much closer than Split&#8217;s ferry port. Public ferries don&#8217;t sail from Trogir, but it&#8217;s a genuinely useful pickup point for a private boat transfer.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"What_happens_if_my_flight_is_delayed_and_I_miss_the_last_ferry_to_the_islands\">What happens if my flight is delayed and I miss the last ferry to the islands?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ll typically wait for the next scheduled sailing \u2014 often the following morning outside peak summer \u2014 or arrange a private boat transfer, which runs to your actual arrival time rather than a fixed timetable. Check the current schedule and build in a buffer if your connection is tight.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Does_the_Split_Airport_shuttle_bus_go_straight_to_the_ferry_port\">Does the Split Airport shuttle bus go straight to the ferry port?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It runs to Split&#8217;s main bus station, right across from the ferry port, so it&#8217;s a short walk from there to the quays. Confirm the current operator, price and schedule before travelling, since shuttle arrangements at Split Airport have changed in recent years.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_it_cheaper_to_take_a_taxi_or_the_shuttle_bus_from_Split_Airport\">Is it cheaper to take a taxi or the shuttle bus from Split Airport?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The shuttle is cheaper for one or two people, roughly \u20ac10 one-way versus \u20ac40\u201365 for a metered taxi into Split. A taxi becomes more competitive for a larger group splitting the fare, or if you&#8217;re headed to nearby Trogir instead.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"de-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Panorama-Hvar-Town-Hvar-Island-Croatia.webp\" alt=\"Hvar Town, a common Split Airport island destination\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"399\"><figcaption>Hvar Town \u2014 under an hour from the airport by private boat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"de-sources\"><span id=\"Sources_further_reading\">Sources &amp; further reading<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jadrolinija.hr\/en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jadrolinija \u2014 official ferry and catamaran timetables<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/krilo.hr\/en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Krilo (Kapetan Luka) \u2014 fast catamaran schedules<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.split-airport.hr\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Split Airport \u2014 official flight and transport information<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.putovnica.net\/en\/transport\/ferry-transport\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Putovnica.net \u2014 Croatian ferry timetable database<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\n    \"@context\": \"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n    \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n            \"name\": \"Is Split Airport close to Split city or the ferry port?\",\n            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                \"text\": \"No \\u2014 Split Airport (SPU) is at Resnik, near Ka\\u0161tela, about 25 km from Split's ferry port on the Riva, roughly 24\\u201334 minutes by car or around 30 minutes on the shuttle bus.
