Croatia Ferry Routes, Adriatic Island Hopping & Coastal Passages

The world-famous Croatian island passage from Diocletian’s Palace in Split directly into the historic Venetian harbour of Hvar Town, renowned for its lavender fields, fortress, and beach clubs.

The primary vehicular artery connecting the mainland to the island of Brač. Carries cars, campervans, and buses directly to Supetar with easy highway access across to the famous Golden Horn (Zlatni Rat) beach in Bol.

Jadrolinija line 635 is the only car ferry between Split and the island of Hvar, landing at the ferry port west of Stari Grad on the island’s north coast. Anyone driving to Hvar Town, Jelsa or Vrboska uses this crossing, since the Hvar Town boats are passenger-only.

Vis is the most distant inhabited island in the central Dalmatian group, reached from Split by Jadrolinija’s line 602 car ferry in about 2 hours 20 minutes. Faster passenger catamarans also call here after stops at Milna on Brač and Hvar Town.

The car ferry to Vela Luka is the direct way to drive onto the western end of Korčula without going round via Pelješac. Jadrolinija line 604 takes about three hours and then continues to Ubli on Lastovo.

Lastovo, a nature park and one of Croatia’s most remote inhabited islands, is linked to Split by the line 604 car ferry, which calls at Vela Luka on Korčula before reaching Ubli. Allow about four and a half hours by ferry.

Šolta is the closest island west of Split, and line 636 carries cars and foot passengers to its harbour at Rogač in about an hour. It is a quiet alternative to Brač and Hvar for a day trip or a stay among the island’s olive groves.

The catamaran from Split puts you directly in Bol, the south-coast town next to the Zlatni Rat beach, in about 1 hour 5 minutes. That saves the drive across Brač from the Supetar car ferry.

Passenger catamarans run from Split straight into Korčula Town’s walled old harbour, most calling at Hvar on the way. Krilo lists about 2 hours 20 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, which makes this the fastest way from Split to Korčula without a car.

A seasonal island-hopping catamaran runs the length of the Dalmatian coast from Split to Dubrovnik, calling at Brač, Hvar, Korčula and, on some sailings, Mljet. Krilo’s service takes about 4 hours 40 minutes, a scenic alternative to the coast road.

Milna, a fishing village in a deep sheltered cove on the western tip of Brač, is the first stop for the island-hopping catamarans heading south from Split. Krilo takes 25 minutes, a quick alternative to the Supetar car ferry for visitors staying on this quieter side of the island.

The shortest car ferry to Hvar crosses from Drvenik on the Makarska Riviera to Sućuraj at the island’s far eastern tip in 30 minutes. It suits drivers coming from the south or from Dubrovnik, though the road from Sućuraj to the rest of Hvar is long and winding.

Line 638 links the resort town of Makarska with Sumartin at the eastern end of Brač in about an hour. It is the handiest car ferry for Riviera visitors heading to Brač, and it avoids the queues at Split.

This one-hour Jadrolinija crossing runs from the port town of Ploče to Trpanj on the north shore of the Pelješac peninsula. It is a shortcut for drivers heading to Orebić and the Korčula ferry from the north.

The main car link to Korčula is a 20-minute hop across the Pelješac Channel from Orebić to Dominče, just east of Korčula Town. Drivers coming from Dubrovnik over the Pelješac Bridge use it to reach the island.

Line 832 is the only car ferry to Mljet, crossing in 45 minutes from Prapratno near Ston to Sobra in the middle of the island. Drivers heading to Mljet National Park at the western end take this route.

TP Line’s catamaran 9807 runs from Dubrovnik via Šipan to Sobra in about an hour, then on to Polače, the gateway to Mljet National Park’s saltwater lakes. The same vessel continues to Korčula and Lastovo.

Catamarans from Dubrovnik’s Gruž port reach Korčula Town in about two hours on Jadrolinija’s summer line, making it an easy day trip or the first leg of an island hop north to Hvar and Split.

Jadrolinija’s line 807 connects Dubrovnik with the car-free Elaphite islands: Koločep, then Lopud about an hour out, then Suđurađ on Šipan. Lopud’s sandy Šunj beach makes it a popular day trip from the city.

Line 431 is Zadar’s commuter ferry to Preko on Ugljan, crossing in about 25 minutes and calling at tiny Ošljak on some sailings. Ugljan is a green, easy-going island right opposite the city.

The car ferry to Brbinj is the main vehicle link to Dugi Otok, the long outer island that shelters Telašćica Nature Park and Sakarun beach. The crossing from Zadar’s Gaženica port takes about 1 hour 40 minutes.

A 20-minute car ferry across the narrow Pašman Channel from the resort town of Biograd na Moru to Tkon. Pašman is joined by bridge to Ugljan, so the two islands can be toured in one loop with the Preko ferry back to Zadar.

Passenger line 505 leaves from Šibenik’s old-town waterfront for the car-free island of Zlarin, known for its coral-working tradition, then continues to Prvić Luka, Šepurine and Vodice. The full run takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.

Krk is joined to the mainland by bridge, so this 25-minute ferry from Valbiska to Merag is the quickest drive to Cres and on to Lošinj for anyone coming from Rijeka or the Krk Bridge.

An island-to-island car ferry from Krk to Lopar at the northern tip of Rab, taking about 80 minutes. It lets drivers tour Krk and Rab without returning to the mainland, and lands close to Lopar’s sandy Rajska beach.

The 20-minute ferry from Brestova on Istria’s east coast to Porozina on the northern tip of Cres. It is the direct route from Istria, Opatija and Rijeka to Cres and Lošinj.

The main car ferry to the island of Rab crosses from Stinica, below the Velebit mountains, to Mišnjak on Rab’s southern tip. Rapska Plovidba operates this state line, and the crossing takes about 20 minutes.

The 20-minute ferry from Prizna to Žigljen is the quickest way onto northern Pag for drivers coming down the coast from Rijeka, and the direct route to Novalja and Zrće beach.

Jadrolinija’s daily catamaran 9308 leaves central Rijeka for Cres town, Martinšćica, Unije, Susak and Ilovik before reaching Mali Lošinj, about 4 hours 30 minutes end to end. It is the only public sea link to several of the small car-free islands.

Catamaran line 9309 connects Rijeka directly with the medieval old town of Rab in 1 hour 45 minutes. Foot passengers avoid the long drive down the coast to the Stinica car ferry.

The same 9309 catamaran continues past Rab to Novalja on the island of Pag, 2 hours 40 minutes from Rijeka. It is the only direct sea link from Rijeka to Novalja and the Zrće beach clubs.

Krilo’s catamaran links Pula with Mali Lošinj in about 2 hours 20 minutes, calling at the car-free islands of Unije and Susak. The same boat continues via Ilovik and Silba to Zadar, so it works as a sea route between Istria and northern Dalmatia.

Krilo Lux links Istria with northern Dalmatia in one sailing, from Pula to Zadar in 4 hours 45 minutes. It calls at Unije, Susak, Mali Lošinj, Ilovik and Silba, a sea route that avoids the long drive round the Kvarner Gulf.
