Krilo runs this on its direct Split\u2013Hvar\u2013Kor\u010dula line and on the longer seasonal Split\u2013Bra\u010d (Milna)\u2013Hvar\u2013Kor\u010dula\u2013Mljet\u2013Dubrovnik service, which also calls at Kor\u010dula. Crossing time runs roughly 2h20\u20133h depending on the sailing, with fares from around \u20ac20\u201325 one way. This service typically runs spring to autumn rather than as a genuine year-round timetable, and sailings are limited \u2014 often one or two a day, not the 15-a-day frequency of Split\u2013Hvar \u2014 so book ahead. On some summer schedules the last boat back toward Split leaves mid-to-late afternoon, earlier and tighter than Hvar&#8217;s cut-off, so build your day around the return sailing, not the other way round. Check the current timetable for exact times and season dates before you plan around it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Skipper&#8217;s tip:<\/strong> Book your Kor\u010dula\u2013Split return at the same time as your outbound ticket. On days with just one round trip, if that boat is full or weathered off, your backup options from Kor\u010dula are thin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_2_JadrolinijaTP_Line_catamaran_via_Vela_Luka_bus\">Option 2: Jadrolinija\/TP Line catamaran via Vela Luka + bus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The other catamaran, run under the TP Line brand on the Split\u2013Hvar\u2013Vela Luka\u2013Ubli (Lastovo) route, does not reach Kor\u010dula Town \u2014 it lands at Vela Luka, roughly 40 km away by road. Crossing time is about 2h10\u20132h45, with fares around \u20ac9\u201312 one way, genuinely cheap but only half the journey. From Vela Luka a connecting bus (Autotrans\/Arriva) takes about an hour across the island, running several times a day loosely timed to ferry arrivals rather than guaranteed to meet every one. All in, plan on 3.5\u20134.5 hours door to door. This route suits a tight budget or anyone actually headed to Vela Luka \u2014 check the current timetable for bus connection times, which shift by season.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_3_Car_ferry_via_Vela_Luka_or_the_Peljesac_Bridge\">Option 3: Car ferry, via Vela Luka or the Pelje\u0161ac Bridge<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Two different car-ferry routes exist and they&#8217;re not interchangeable. The direct Jadrolinija car ferry Split\u2013Vela Luka takes around 2h45\u20133h, runs a handful of times daily in high season, and needs the same road transfer afterwards \u2014 the slowest way to get a car onto the island from Split. The route most drivers actually use since the Pelje\u0161ac Bridge opened is to drive south (roughly 2\u20132.5 hours) to Orebi\u0107, then take the short Jadrolinija car ferry to Domin\u010de, about 3 km from Kor\u010dula Town. That hop itself is only around 20 minutes and runs frequently, close to hourly, so the drive is the real bottleneck, not the crossing. All told this usually runs 3\u20134 hours door to door, longer in peak-season traffic \u2014 good for road-trippers continuing toward Dubrovnik, less so if you just want Kor\u010dula Town fast from Split.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Option_4_Private_taxi_boat_Split_to_Korcula_direct\">Option 4: Private taxi boat, Split to Kor\u010dula direct<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is where the maths changes. A private water taxi runs about 80 minutes, door to dock, for <strong>\u20ac800\u20131,700 for the whole boat<\/strong> \u2014 not per person \u2014 depending on boat size and season. No stop at Hvar, no bus across the island, no fixed timetable to plan your day around. We collect you from the Riva or Split Airport and land you wherever suits, including right at the old town harbour.<\/p>\n<p>At 2h20 to 4-plus hours each way by ferry, Kor\u010dula only really works as an overnight trip from Split \u2014 which is why most guides tell you to sleep on the island rather than attempt it in a day. At 80 minutes each way, it becomes a real day option: leave mid-morning, get five or six hours to walk the walls, see the Marco Polo house and have lunch on the waterfront, and still be back in Split for dinner. That&#8217;s the whole case for a <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/pl\/taxi-boat\/split-to-korcula\/\">Split to Kor\u010dula taxi boat<\/a> transfer over the public options above. It also matters on weather days \u2014 our closed-cabin, radar-equipped boats can often still run when the catamarans to Kor\u010dula, among the more exposed routes we serve, are the first to be cancelled in a strong jugo or bura.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"comparison\"><span id=\"Split_to_Korcula_comparing_your_options\">Split to Kor\u010dula: comparing your options<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the four realistic ways to travel <strong>Ze Splitu do Kor\u010duli<\/strong> stack up.

It&#8217;s Venetian in feel, walkable in an afternoon, and one of the better-preserved old towns on this coast \u2014 smaller and quieter than Dubrovnik&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s Marco Polo. The birthplace claim is disputed \u2014 most historians favour Venice \u2014 but the local story has real texture: Kor\u010dula was Venetian territory with documented Polo family trading ties, and Marco Polo was reportedly captured nearby at the 1298 Battle of Curzola, the old name for Kor\u010dula. There&#8217;s a Marco Polo house in the old town worth a look regardless of which version you believe. Beyond the walls, the island has good beaches at Lumbarda, well-known local whites (Po\u0161ip and Grk), and the More\u0161ka sword dance in summer \u2014 reasons Kor\u010dula rewards more than a rushed hour, which is exactly why how you get there matters.<\/p>\n<p>Planning a longer route rather than a single island? Our <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/pl\/taxi-boat\/hvar-to-dubrovnik\/\">Hvar to Dubrovnik taxi boat<\/a> page covers that longer private crossing, which some clients pair with a Kor\u010dula stop en route.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Day_trip_or_overnight\">Day trip or overnight?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re based in Split for a week and want to add Kor\u010dula as one day among several, a private boat is genuinely the only way to do that without losing most of a day to transit. If you&#8217;re on a flexible budget trip, the public catamaran or the Vela Luka-plus-bus route both work \u2014 just build in a buffer around the return sailing. If a multi-night stay suits you better, Kor\u010dula rewards two or three nights over a flying visit, and the ferry timing matters far less once you&#8217;re not racing a return boat.<\/p>\n<p>Tell us your dates and group size and we&#8217;ll give you a straight answer on whether a private crossing is worth it for your trip, or whether the public ferry will do the job just as well \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/pl\/contact\/\">get in touch<\/a> and we&#8217;ll work it out together.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"FAQ_Split_to_Korcula_travel_questions\">FAQ: Split to Kor\u010dula travel questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_get_from_Split_to_Korcula\">How long does it take to get from Split to Kor\u010dula?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>By fast catamaran, roughly 2h20 to 3 hours, depending on the sailing and which port you land at. By car ferry with a road transfer, plan 3\u20134 hours door to door. By private taxi boat direct, about 80 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_there_a_direct_ferry_from_Split_to_Korcula_Town\">Is there a direct ferry from Split to Kor\u010dula Town?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 Krilo\/Kapetan Luka runs a seasonal fast catamaran landing directly in Kor\u010dula Town&#8217;s old harbour, alongside its longer Split\u2013Dubrovnik service, which also calls there. Other catamaran and car-ferry routes land at Vela Luka instead, requiring a bus or drive to reach town. Check the current timetable, as the direct seasonal service isn&#8217;t guaranteed on every date.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Can_you_do_Korcula_as_a_day_trip_from_Split\">Can you do Kor\u010dula as a day trip from Split?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>By public ferry it&#8217;s tight but possible on the direct Kor\u010dula Town sailing, provided the return departure suits your day \u2014 check the last sailing time, since it&#8217;s earlier than Hvar&#8217;s. By private taxi boat it&#8217;s comfortable: 80 minutes each way leaves several hours in the old town without racing a fixed return.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"What8217s_the_cheapest_way_to_get_from_Split_to_Korcula\">What&#8217;s the cheapest way to get from Split to Kor\u010dula?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Jadrolinija\/TP Line catamaran to Vela Luka plus a connecting bus is typically the lowest combined fare, though it takes longer overall and lands on the wrong side of the island for Kor\u010dula Town.

The direct Jadrolinija car ferry from Split lands at Vela Luka, roughly 40 km away by road.
