Practical tips
During July and August, ferries and catamarans, especially popular routes like Split-Brač, can sell out days in advance. Always book your tickets online well before your travel date to secure your spot and avoid disappointment at the port.
Split's port is large. While both catamarans and car ferries to Supetar (Brač) depart from the main port area, catamarans usually leave from specific piers closer to the city center. Check your ticket for the exact departure gate or pier number.
Even with a pre-booked ticket, it's wise to arrive at the Split ferry port at least 30-45 minutes before your scheduled departure, especially during peak season. This allows ample time to locate your ferry and board without rushing.
Car ferries are slower but cheaper and accommodate vehicles. Catamarans are faster, more expensive, for foot passengers only, and typically have more frequent departures. Choose based on your priorities (speed, cost, car).
If you're planning a day trip, always double-check the return ferry schedules from Supetar to Split to avoid missing the last boat back. Frequencies can vary seasonally, so consult the latest timetables.
