During July and August, catamarans and ferries between Korčula and Split often sell out days in advance. Secure your spot by booking online as soon as your travel dates are firm to avoid disappointment at the port.
Both catamarans and car ferries to Split depart from the main port in Korčula town. There's no confusion with other locations like Vela Luka, which serves different routes. Head to the main pier for all departures to Split.
Even with a confirmed booking, it's wise to arrive at the port at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure, especially during busy periods. This allows ample time for boarding and finding your seat without rushing.
For the most up-to-date schedules and any potential changes, always check the official websites of operators like Jadrolinija, Kapetan Luka (Krilo), and TP Line. This is especially useful for off-season travel, as frequencies can vary.
If you have some time to explore Split before your next connection, you can find luggage storage facilities near the Split ferry port or bus station. This allows you to freely enjoy the city without carrying your bags around.

Traveling from Korčula to Split is a popular and straightforward leg for island hoppers exploring Croatia.

Your primary options for this route are catamarans (fast ferries) and car ferries. Catamarans are generally quicker, taking around 2.5 to 3 hours, and cost approximately €15-25, operated by companies like Kapetan Luka (Krilo) and TP Line.

Both depart from Korčula town's main port.
Booking your ticket in advance, especially during peak season (July and August), is crucial as ferries can sell out days ahead.
