Practical tips
During peak season (July-August), ferry and catamaran tickets often sell out days in advance. Secure your spot by booking online as soon as your travel dates are firm to avoid disappointment and ensure a smooth departure.
For the Brač to Split route, all ferries and catamarans depart from Supetar. There's no need to worry about different piers or towns like Bol or Milna for this specific crossing, simplifying your departure process.
Even with a ticket, aim to arrive at the Supetar port at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. This allows ample time for boarding, especially for car ferries, and helps avoid any last-minute rush.
Ferry schedules can change significantly between high season (June-September) and shoulder/low season. Always double-check the latest timetables on operator websites (Jadrolinija, Kapetan Luka) close to your travel date.
In rare cases, strong winds (Bura) can cause ferry cancellations, particularly for catamarans. While uncommon, it's wise to check local weather forecasts the day before, especially if you have tight connections.
