By the Dalmatia Express crew — skippers running the Split–island routes daily, 24/7. Updated 2 September 2026.

The quickest way from Split to Bol is a private water taxi straight to Bol’s harbour. Bol is a small beach town on the south coast of Brač island, facing Hvar. The trip takes about 35 minutes, door to dock. By public transport, there is a seasonal direct catamaran. It takes 55–60 minutes, with only one or two sailings a day. The more frequent route is the car ferry to Supetar (the main ferry port on Brač island). Then you take a bus or drive across the island. This adds up to roughly 2–2.5 hours in total. Bol sits on Brač’s exposed south coast, facing Hvar island. Supetar is on the north shore, facing Split. This is why many visitors arrive in Supetar and think Zlatni Rat is close. Zlatni Rat is the famous long pebble beach near Bol. In fact, they are still an hour’s bus ride away.

Dizemos isso como a equipe que administra o negócio. Dividir para Brač transfers every day. Bol is one of the few harbour towns in Dalmatia where the “obvious” ferry route is not the fastest one. Below is every realistic way to get there in 2026. We checked each one.

Por que o trajeto de Split para Bol não é tão direto quanto parece no mapa?

Brač is shaped like a long wedge. Its two main towns sit on opposite coasts. Supetar, the island’s ferry hub, faces Split. That is why Jadrolinija (the national ferry company) runs its main car ferry there many times a day. Bol faces Hvar on the south coast. This is also why the Zlatni Rat sand spit formed there. Bol has no big car-ferry link of its own. Anyone arriving in Supetar still has a real journey across the island ahead. It is about 35 km over Vidova Gora, the highest mountain on any Adriatic island.

There is a direct seasonal catamaran to Bol (a fast passenger boat, no cars). We cover it below. It runs only once or twice a day, and it does not run outside summer. So planning Split to Bol means choosing one of three things. You can choose frequency: the Supetar ferry, with a long second leg by bus. You can choose a direct boat on a limited timetable: the seasonal catamaran. Or you can choose speed and flexibility at a higher price: a private transfer.

De Split para Bol: comparação de todas as rotas

É a sua primeira vez a visitar a travessia Split-Brač? O nosso Guia de ferry de Split para Brač explains every port, operator and season in one place. It is useful background before you pick a route to Bol.

Here is how the options compare for 2026, door to beach. “Total door-to-beach time” assumes you are going to Zlatni Rat. The beach is a 20–30 minute walk from Bol harbour. You can also take a short taxi-boat or the small tourist train.

The first row surprises people. The Supetar ferry itself is fast and frequent. But the bus across the island is the part nobody plans time for. We have seen guests step off the early ferry and expect to swim at Zlatni Rat within the hour. Then they find the next bus is in 40 minutes, and the bus ride itself takes over an hour. That is the hidden part of this route. Plan for it, and it is a good way to travel. Ignore it, and it takes your whole morning. If you want to skip all of that, book a private taxi boat. It takes you from Split or the airport straight to Bol harbour in about 35 minutes. See our Split to Brač and Bol prices.

Dica do capitão: if you drive from Supetar, skip the coast road. The inland road over Vidova Gora, through the villages of Nerežišća and Pražnica, is usually quicker. It also has a great viewpoint. You look straight down over Zlatni Rat and across to Hvar. Plan fifteen minutes for photos. Everyone stops there.

Opção 1: Balsa Jadrolinija para Supetar, depois ônibus ou carro.

This is still the most-used way to reach Brač from Split. It is the only route with a real car deck, and boats leave almost every hour. Jadrolinija line 631 crosses in 50 minutes. There are up to ~22 sailings a day in high season, and 9–11 a day off-season. A foot passenger pays €4.40–€6.50, depending on the season. A standard car costs about €18–€26. A ticket is valid for any sailing on the date printed on it. You do not need to choose an exact departure.

From Supetar, Arriva/Autotrans buses run to Bol. The trip is about 37 km and takes 55–70 minutes. A ticket costs around €7 one way. There are far fewer buses off-season, so check the current timetable before you decide. If you drive yourself, the ferry puts your car on Brač in under an hour. Then it is another 35–45 minutes to Bol.

Our honest verdict: this route is cheap and reliable. It is the right choice if you stay in Supetar or somewhere else on the north coast. It is also right if budget matters more than time. If Bol is your destination, plan the bus leg into your day. Do not treat the ferry crossing as the whole journey.

Opção 2: o catamarã sazonal direto para Bol

From mid-May to the end of September, Split Fast Ferries runs a passenger catamaran straight from Split to Bol. Split Fast Ferries is the brand of Krilo Shipping Company (a different company from the Kapetan Luka “Krilo” catamarans). The trip takes 55–60 minutes and lands right at Bol’s harbour pier. In peak season, about 8 June to 15 September, there are two sailings a day. In the shoulder weeks, there is one. The adult fare is €25 one way. Children aged 3–12 pay half price. It leaves from berth 6 or 7 at the main Split ferry port, a short walk from the Riva (Split’s seafront promenade). It docks at the Ante Starčevića pier in Bol.

There is also a cheaper Jadrolinija fast boat, line 9603. It calls at Bol on its way to Stari Grad and Jelsa on Hvar island. The fare is about €6.40 off-season or €10.00 in peak season. The problem is timing. There are only one or two sailings a day. Outside peak weeks, the useful morning boat continues to Hvar and does not come back the same day. It works if the daily time matches your plans. Otherwise it is not built for a day trip in the way Split Fast Ferries is.

Both catamarans are faster than the Supetar ferry plus bus. But neither runs outside the season, and neither runs as often as the Supetar ferry. If you miss the daily departure, you wait until tomorrow. Always check the current timetable. These schedules change each year, and they are the first boats cancelled in rough weather.

Dica do capitão: the direct Bol catamarans are popular with locals as well as day visitors. In July and August, the one or two daily sailings can sell out days ahead. Buy online instead of hoping for a seat at the port. If the times do not fit your flight or check-in, that is usually when people message us instead.

Opção 3: táxi aquático privado, direto para o porto de Bol

This is what we run every day of the season. A closed-cabin boat with radar goes straight from Split — or Split Airport — to Bol’s harbour in about 35 minutes. No ferry timetable, no bus connection, no end-of-season date. We land at the dock in Bol, at a villa mooring, or closer to Zlatni Rat itself if the sea allows. It is worth asking, because the town harbour and the beach are about 2 km apart along the promenade.

Preços para todo o barco Dividir para Brač e Bol is €270–900. The price depends on boat size, time of day and pickup point. This is for the whole boat, not per person. A group of six or eight shares it. On a small boat that is about €35–€45 per person, close to two catamaran tickets. On a large boat at a busy time it is more, but with no timetable risk. A private boat makes sense with a group, or with a flight that misses the daily catamaran. It also helps if you stay at a villa with its own dock. And some people simply do not want their holiday built around someone else’s timetable. Our fleet (Great White 49, 39 and 35 boats, plus the Lolivul 9) keeps sailing in seas that stop the public catamarans first. So it is also the backup when the fast ferries are cancelled by the bura (a strong, cold north wind) or the jugo (a warm, wet south wind). Message us on nossa página de contato with your dates, group size and where on Brač you are going.

Chegando pelo Aeroporto de Split ou vindo de outras partes de Brač ou Hvar.

If you land at Split Airport instead of starting in central Split, the maths changes again. The airport is about 24 km from the city ferry port, a 25–30 minute taxi ride (around €45–65). The public route via Supetar then has three legs: taxi or bus into Split, the Supetar ferry, and the Supetar–Bol bus. So add an extra hour. We cover the full airport timings in Aeroporto de Split para Bol 2026.

Everything above works in reverse for the return trip too. For more of the island, our guide to Milna, Brač, em 2026 covers the quiet marina town on the west tip of Brač. It is a good add-on if you are island-hopping. Some visitors stay on Hvar instead and visit Bol as a day trip. Hvar Town and Bol face each other across a narrow channel. It is a private-boat trip of well under an hour. We run it often for guests on o lado de Hvar.

Perguntas frequentes

Qual é a maneira mais rápida de ir de Split para Bol?

A private water taxi is fastest, around 35 minutes direct to Bol’s harbour. Among public options, the seasonal direct catamaran (55–60 minutes) is faster than the Supetar car ferry. The ferry route adds a bus or drive of about an hour.

Existe um ferry direto de Split para Bol?

Yes, but only in season. Split Fast Ferries (Krilo Shipping Company) runs a direct catamaran from mid-May to the end of September. There are one or two sailings a day, at €25 one way. A separate, cheaper Jadrolinija catamaran, line 9603, also stops at Bol on its way to Hvar, but only once or twice a day.

Por que o ferry Split-Supetar não vai até Bol?

Supetar and Bol sit on opposite coasts of Brač. Supetar faces Split and handles the island’s main car-ferry traffic; Bol faces south towards Hvar and has no similar ferry link. So passengers who arrive in Supetar and want Bol need a bus or a drive across the island.

Quanto tempo leva a viagem de ônibus de Supetar para Bol?

A travessia de aproximadamente 37 km dura entre 55 e 70 minutos, com uma tarifa de cerca de €7 por trecho. As partidas são mais frequentes no verão; consulte sempre a tabela de horários fora da temporada, pois a frequência diminui consideravelmente.

Qual o custo de um traslado de barco particular de Split para Bol?

Our 2026 whole-boat rate for Split to Brač/Bol is €270–900, depending on boat size and timing. This is the total price for the boat, not per passenger. So it’s competitive with public fares once you’re a group of four or more.

Posso dirigir de Split até Bol?

Yes. Take the Jadrolinija car ferry to Supetar (50 minutes). Then drive across the island to Bol, about 35–45 minutes depending on the route. The inland road over Vidova Gora is often the more scenic and quicker option than the coast road.

Como faço para ir do porto de Bol até a praia de Zlatni Rat?

Aproximadamente 2 km, o que corresponde a uma caminhada de 20 a 30 minutos ao longo do calçadão sombreado por pinheiros. Na alta temporada, também é possível fazer um curto trajeto de táxi aquático (10 a 15 minutos) ou pegar o trenzinho turístico, ambos por alguns euros.

É melhor voar para Split ou pegar um ferry de Hvar para chegar a Bol?

Both work. Based on Hvar, Bol is a short private-boat hop across the channel. If you fly in, Split Airport connects to Bol by the same public-ferry or private-transfer options as central Split. You just need an extra taxi ride from the airport first.

One more reason people come to Bol: wind. Big Blue Sport is on Borak beach, a short walk from Zlatni Rat. It rents windsurf boards and runs lessons from May to October.

If you have half a day, the Blaca Hermitage is Brač’s most surprising sight. It is a 16th-century monastery built into a cliff. You reach it by a walking trail (closed Mondays). We can drop you by boat at the Blaca cove trailhead on request.

For dinner in Bol, locals will point you to Konoba Dalmatino or Mendula. A konoba is a traditional family restaurant. Both are family-run and a short walk from the port.

For a smaller stay, Villa Giardino near the port is an old house with a deep garden. It is Bol’s heritage B&B favourite.
