Route guide

Choosing a return from Bol harbour

The off-season panel of Jadrolinija’s 2026 timetable and fare table (PDF) shows a 06:25 departure from Bol Monday to Friday, reaching Split at 07:30. On Saturday the corresponding times are 07:25 and 08:30. These rows cover 28 September to 31 December 2026.

On Sundays and public holidays the boat leaves Bol at 13:25 and reaches Split at 14:30. That makes a morning mainland appointment impractical on this sailing even though an ordinary weekday journey would work.

The boat starts at Jelsa. Where the timetable shows two Bol times, the first is the arrival alongside and the second is departure. Be on the quay before the boat arrives.

For foot passengers the published off-season adult fare is €6.40 each way. If you have a vehicle on Brač, plan the drive from Bol to Supetar and use Jadrolinija’s Split–Supetar vehicle ferry for the sailing to Split. Read the Supetar to Split guide for vehicle arrangements.

Compare the passenger fare with any onward bus or rail ticket you need after landing. For a car journey, price the separate vehicle route via Supetar.

Jadrolinija

Line 9603 reaches Bol from Jelsa and then sails for Split. In the late-2026 off-season table the weekday boat leaves Bol at 06:25, the Saturday boat at 07:25 and the Sunday or holiday boat at 13:25.

The ordinary adult off-season fare is €6.40 from Bol to Split through 31 December 2026. It covers the passenger crossing from the town quay.

Krilo Fast Ferries

Check the island port in the itinerary before buying. Krilo services can show several different Brač towns, and a departure from Milna or Supetar involves a separate transfer from Bol.

Use the operator’s dated sailing search for a service explicitly naming Bol and Split. Winter passengers can also check Jadrolinija’s line 9603.

Krilo Shipping Company

This operator’s 2026 seasonal Split–Bol–Jelsa service ran from 15 May to 30 September. Its summer return timings are separate from Jadrolinija’s winter timetable.

On the seasonal timetable, the evening entries distinguish a trip via Jelsa from the direct return. Compare the actual Split arrival as well as the departure from Bol.

Before departure

Prepare for check-in at Bol

For your Bol to Split sailing, keep the booking confirmation and any identification required by the operator ready. Check ticket collection, check-in and boarding instructions before leaving for Bol.

Your departure terminal

Use the terminal named on the Bol booking confirmation. Plan the approach, parking or drop-off before departure; the town centre or railway station may be some distance from check-in.

Passenger and vehicle details

This passenger boat has no car deck. For a vehicle, check the Supetar to Split crossing and include the road transfer in your plan.

After arriving

Continue your journey from Split

Split’s old town, ferry port, bus station and railway station are tightly grouped, making the city especially easy for foot passengers.

Diocletian’s Palace and the Riva are only a short walk from the ferry berths, so most central sightseeing needs no transport.

Brač, Hvar, Vis, Šolta and other islands are integrated into Split’s everyday transport network; confirm whether your chosen service carries vehicles or foot passengers only.

For an onward connection from Split, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.
